Bankruptcy

Massachusetts Bankruptcy Attorney

The United States Bankruptcy Code is a federal law which allows individuals and businesses the opportunity to reduce, eliminate, or restructure their debts. For individuals there are two basic bankruptcy options: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. A bankruptcy filing provides you immediate protection from creditors by stopping harassing phone calls, demand letters, lawsuits, wage garnishments, and foreclosures. A typical individual Massachusetts bankruptcy case requires a single court appearance called the “meeting of creditors”. After that, if you’ve filed under Chapter 7, the court will grant a discharge, eliminating most types of debts. If you file under Chapter 13, you will begin a payment plan that lasts from three to five years and, upon completion, any unpaid debts are discharged.
