What are Your Bankruptcy Options?

Since 1991, we have helped more than 25,000 families determine the best debt recovery path for them.

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides immediate financial relief by discharging outstanding debt and giving bankrupt individuals and families a new start. Eligibility for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is based almost entirely on your family’s financial situation and income.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a good option for individuals and families who do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, clients work with bankruptcy trustees to reorganize debt through a three- to five-year bankruptcy plan.

Our Michigan bankruptcy lawyers meet with you to discuss filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy and alternatives to bankruptcy. We care about our clients and provide them with the guidance they need during their bankruptcy filing, from credit counseling to rebuilding credit.

Rebuilding Credit After Bankruptcy

With limited exceptions, once the court discharges your debt, you are considered “debt-free.” Within 24 to 36 months from bankruptcy, your credit will likely fully recover and you will be able to obtain loans and financing. Our law office helps you work out a financial plan to rebuild your credit from the ground up.
