Leaders in Bankruptcy Law

Bankruptcy is a process under federal law designed to help people and businesses receive protection from their creditors to whom they owe money. After a petition for bankruptcy and fee is filed in court, the court issues an automatic stay–a court order that temporarily protects the debtor from all further acts of collections until the court accepts a plan for repayment or full discharge of debts.

Bankruptcy

There are numerous reasons and circumstances that people may choose to file bankruptcy. Some are possible to avoid. Some are not. Possible reasons some choose to file bankruptcy may be even due to a combination of several factors such as:

  • High medical bills that insurance won’t cover
  • Unforeseen or Unprofitable business debts
  • Debts left by an ex-spouse who did not pay as agreed
  • Job loss for extended period of time
  • Extensive automobile or property damages that insurance will not cover
  • Large credit card debt due to job loss or poor financial management


There are certain debts that are readily dischargeable in bankruptcy.

They include:



  • Credit and charge card debts that are more than 90 days old
  • Collections
  • Court judgments for bills not paid
  • Medical bills
  • Old utility bills
  • Other bills that are not secured by collateral
