Our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Practice
Under the recent revisions to the bankruptcy laws, you must now qualify to file for protection under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy laws by submitting to a "means test." If you demonstrate that you have the ability to repay your creditors over a three- to five-year period, you will not be able to seek protection under Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, but you will have to use Chapter 13 to get a fresh financial start, which also has benefits.
Also, the timing of when you file for bankruptcy is very important, so if you are contemplating filing for divorce as well, you should speak with us first so we can advise you what will be the easiest and most effective strategy.
Helping You Discharge Debts Under Chapter 7 in Temple Hills, Southern Maryland and Washington, D.C.
Our Upper Marlboro Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer, Rochelle D. Washington, will help you determine whether you are eligible for Chapter 7 using the means test that was established under the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA). If you do qualify, we will carefully explain which debts can and cannot be discharged before you file, so that you get the relief you need and expect. For instance, in most circumstances credit card debt can be discharged, while student loans and child support obligations cannot.
Next, we will prepare and file all required documentation to complete your bankruptcy. We will act as your advocate in all hearings or meetings with creditors, the trustee and the bankruptcy court.
