Whether you are seeking to protect the family home or you are having trouble with the IRS, we will work out a bankruptcy and payment solution plan tailored to your unique needs.

Every year millions of Americans take advantage of the debt relief offered by bankruptcy. If you have questions about your rights and bankruptcy options, please contact our firm.

We can assist you with the following:

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an option that allows you to eliminate all of your unsecured debt via the liquidation of your non-essential assets. This includes many types of debt, including both credit card debt and personal debt. (Please note some forms of debt, such as student loans, cannot be eliminated this way.) Chapter 7 is used by hundreds of thousands of Americans every year to help them recover from debt and move toward a stable financial future. Those who file for Chapter 7 are often able to retain their home, car and other necessary items.

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 is a bankruptcy option used by individuals and families who either do not qualify for a Chapter 7 or who want to protect secured property, such as a home. Under this form of bankruptcy, you submit a payment plan to the bankruptcy court which outlines how you will pay off a reduced amount of the total debt over a 3-5 year period. If you own a car, a home, or do not pass the means test for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, our attorneys can help you explore your Chapter 13 options and negotiate a payment schedule. Please note filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy can also help stop foreclosure.

Contact our Newark, New Jersey office to speak with an experienced lawyer regarding a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We will provide the advocacy you need for debt relief.
