Bankruptcy

If you are being overwhelmed by your debt, bankruptcy could be a viable solution to your problem. Bankruptcy is a court process designed to help consumers eliminate most of their debts, and pay back some of what they owe with a structured payment plan. Attorney Shepherd can determine if you qualify for debt relief through bankruptcy, file the necessary paperwork, and put you on the path to a stable financial life.

We assist clients in the following types of bankruptcy proceedings:

• Chapter 7
• Chapter 13

There are many benefits of filing for bankruptcy. From the moment your proceedings have begun, your creditors are legally barred from engaging in collection activities, including repossession and foreclosure. Bankruptcy also allows a debtor to retain some assets, including a family home or primary vehicle, dissolving as many debts as possible without leaving a debtor empty-handed.

Bankruptcy may also allow you to:

• Avoid foreclosure on your house
• Prevent repossession of your vehicle
• Put a stop to collection agencies
• Prevent wage garnishment for non-payment of debts
• Protect business holdings from liquidation
• Exempt family heirlooms and other valuable assets from bankruptcy
• Negotiate payment plans for items that are exempt from bankruptcy

The best way to find out if bankruptcy is right for you is to sit down with someone who is familiar with bankruptcy laws and knows the full details of your situation.
