Financial distress can feel like carrying the world’s weight on your shoulders, but you don’t have to bear that burden alone. The Porter County Chapter 7 attorneys at Whitten & Whitten are here for you. Our team of experienced bankruptcy lawyers is dedicated to helping individuals and families in the Porter County area find relief from overwhelming debt through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, often termed “liquidation” or “straight bankruptcy,” presents an opportunity to clean the slate. This legal process is designed to discharge most of your unsecured debts, offering a fresh fiscal beginning. At Whitten & Whitten, we clarify and address the common misconceptions surrounding the Chapter 7 filing process, asset liquidation, and the path to debt relief.
The road through Chapter 7 bankruptcy is more straightforward than one might assume. Typically completed within 3-6 months, you could emerge from financial distress more rapidly than anticipated. It begins with filing the necessary petitions and culminates in a discharge that releases you from personal liability for specific debts.
Eligibility hinges on the Means Test—an evaluation pitting your income against Indiana’s median. Should your income surpass the threshold, don’t lose hope. Other forms of bankruptcy relief, such as Chapter 13, are available, and we can help determine what suits your situation best.
When you file, an automatic stay immediately goes into effect, granting you immediate reprieve from creditors’ pursuits. A mandatory meeting of creditors follows, generally within 30 days, where a trustee will assess your finances. Our lawyers stand with you, ensuring your rights are defended, and questions are answered.
Our attorneys are more than advisors; they are allies in your financial recovery. With a seasoned understanding of Porter County’s legal landscape, our team is uniquely equipped to manage your case.
We’ve supported countless individuals through bankruptcy fields, extending beyond Porter County to Lake, LaPorte, St. Joseph, and neighboring counties.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the solution you’ve been searching for to start your life anew. While Chapter 7 stays on your credit report for ten years, the path to credit restoration begins immediately. It’s a fresh chapter, not merely the close of a tumultuous one.
