Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

 

Chapter 7 is known as the “liquidation bankruptcy’’ because it discharges most of your unsecured debt. That includes credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. If you're located in Ossining, or anywhere throughout the Hudson Valley or New York, we can help.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Are you looking for a way to manage or reduce your debt as efficiently as possible?  Chapter 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code provides a legal solution for those who do not qualify for Chapter 7 or who have sizable assets they wish to retain. If you earn a steady income or want to protect valuable assets, this type of bankruptcy plan may be right for you.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

 

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a debt reorganization process that is most often used by businesses that want to continue doing business and repay its debts at the same time. In addition, it benefits individuals who don’t qualify for other chapters or need certain protections Chapter 11 offers. Overall, Chapter 11 is more expensive and complex than other types of bankruptcy, but it can offer significant advantages if you qualify.

The Small Business Reorganization Act

Effective in February of 2020, the Small Business Reorganization Act (the “SBRA”) was created by Congress to provide small business owners with a more streamlined version of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We work with businesses located in Ossining, New York and throughout the counties of Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess and beyond.

I can also defend you against some of the worst consequences of debt: foreclosure and creditor harassment. You may have more rights than you realize, and my job is to help you protect what matters most and hold creditors or lenders accountable for their unlawful actions.
