Bankruptcy, a term often associated with financial ruin, can sometimes be the key to a fresh start. It’s a complex legal process that provides relief from overwhelming debt. However, navigating this process alone can be daunting. Our St. John bankruptcy attorney at Whitten & Whitten is ready to assist you. With over 20 years of experience, our team of seasoned attorneys can guide you through the intricacies of bankruptcy, helping you make informed decisions for your financial future.
Bankruptcy comes in two main forms: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as liquidation bankruptcy, involves selling off assets to repay debts. On the other hand, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to create a repayment plan to gradually pay off their debts over time. The choice between the two depends on various factors, such as your income, assets, and the nature of your debt. At Whitten & Whitten, a careful analysis of your unique situation is conducted to determine which type of bankruptcy best suits your needs.
Filing for bankruptcy requires meticulous attention to detail. From gathering necessary documentation to filling out required forms and understanding court procedures, the process can be overwhelming. But with Whitten & Whitten by your side, these complexities are simplified. Our team ensures that your bankruptcy filing is accurate, complete, and meets all legal requirements, providing you with peace of mind.
While bankruptcy can provide immediate relief from debt, it’s crucial to understand its potential ramifications. It may impact your credit scores negatively and remain on your credit report for several years. However, it’s not the end of the road. Credit can be rebuilt post-bankruptcy through responsible financial management. At Whitten & Whitten, you’re provided with practical guidance on how to manage your finances responsibly and mitigate the long-term effects of bankruptcy.
Understanding which debts can be discharged through bankruptcy and what happens to your assets post-bankruptcy is vital. Our skilled attorneys help you navigate these concerns, providing clear explanations about which debts are eligible for discharge and what property can be retained after filing for bankruptcy.
