Bankruptcy Attorney in Beachwood, Ohio
Experienced Counsel When You Are Considering a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
If you have substantial credit card debt or unpaid medical bills, have been laid off from your job or are facing foreclosure on your home, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing may be what you need to stop garnishment proceedings, threatening phone calls and letters, foreclosure proceedings and lawsuits. Because the bankruptcy laws changed in 2005, making it more difficult to qualify for protection under Chapter 7, you want an experienced lawyer to help you determine whether you meet the requirements and protect your interests throughout the process.

Is Chapter 7 Right for Me?
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, you have the opportunity to discharge certain debts in exchange for the sale or liquidation of non-exempt assets. If you qualify for protection under Chapter 7, I will make certain that you understand which obligations, such as child support arrearages, student loan payments and certain taxes, cannot be discharged. I will also confirm that all exempt assets, including your primary residence and vehicle, are excluded from sale in the bankruptcy proceeding.
To qualify for protection under Chapter 7, you must submit to a means test, which determines whether you have the financial resources to repay your creditors over a 3 to 5 year period. I know how this process works and will walk you through the test before you file, so that you have confidence that your Chapter 7 petition will be granted. If my analysis indicates that you will likely fail the means test, I can help you file and obtain relief under Chapter 13.
