Get Out From Under a Mountain of Debt

Bankruptcy provides a way to reset your financial situation, freeing you from credit card companies, medical bills, and threats of home foreclosure. Whether you are drowning in unsecured debt or facing the possibility of losing your home, bankruptcy offers a legal path to relief and a genuine fresh start.

Bankruptcy laws became considerably more complex following the 2005 reforms, requiring detailed procedures and mathematical calculations. The process contains a lot of little traps for the unwary that can prevent your debts from being discharged. That is why professional guidance from an experienced bankruptcy attorney is essential -- these complications are beyond most people's ability to navigate on their own.

At the Law Office of Erin Bradley McAleer, we manage all procedural steps to reduce your stress during an already difficult period. Our attorneys determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 applies to your situation, gather and process your financial documents, and guide you through every step from filing to discharge. Clients often express tremendous relief after their hearing, grateful that the process is finally behind them.

How the Process Works

For Chapter 7, we begin with an initial consultation to determine eligibility, then gather your financial documents including pay stubs and tax returns. Our software processes the data and generates the court forms, which you review and approve. Your hearing occurs approximately 30 days after filing and takes about 10 minutes. Discharge is typically granted roughly 60 days after the hearing.

For Chapter 13, the initial paperwork is the same, but an additional document outlines how you will retain your property and pay creditors. The plan uses complex formulas based on what you can afford to pay each month. Remaining balances are discharged at plan completion.
