About Bankruptcy attorneys

Bankruptcy attorneys help individuals and businesses restructure or eliminate debt under Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11. They stop creditor harassment, halt foreclosures and wage garnishments, and rebuild a workable financial future.

Counsel performs the means test, prepares the petition and schedules, represents you at the 341 meeting of creditors, and defends any objections from trustees or lenders. The right chapter depends on income, asset mix, and goals.

When to call: Talk to a lawyer before draining retirement accounts, transferring property, or running up new debt — those moves can compromise your case.
