CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY
ELIMINATE DEBT AND CREDITOR HARASSMENT BY FILING FOR CHAPTER 7
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a debt liquidation available to both individuals and businesses. It allows a person or business to discharge certain debts including credit card, personal loans and medical bills, thereby obtaining tremendous relief from debts they can no longer pay. Once the debt is discharged, the debtor is free from creditor collection practices.

It is critical that anyone who is considering Chapter 7 bankruptcy consult a bankruptcy lawyer prior to filing a case. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the Court has tremendous powers to seize and sell assets of the Debtor. While the filer has some exemptions available to protect property, it is important that the values of assets and amount of exemptions are considered and evaluated property by an experience bankruptcy lawyer like Michael Schwartz.

QUALIFYING FOR CHAPTER 7:
Changes to the bankruptcy laws in 2005 made it necessary for debtors to complete a means test before filing bankruptcy. In general, debtors whose income fall below the median income may qualify for Chapter 7. However, there are other factors to consider such as income compared to overall expenses (disposable income). Unexempt assets must also be considered in this analysis. Our firm understands the nuances of filing bankruptcy and the means test to help to determine whether you qualify for this bankruptcy option.
