In today's economy, many people find it harder and harder to pay their monthly bills without slowly sinking in debt. If you cannot pay your debts as they come due then bankruptcy may be for you. Typically our clients file bankruptcy for relief from creditor harassment, foreclosure, repossession, judgment liens and garnishment of bank accounts. The economy may take years to recover, but you can begin your personal financial recovery right now by filing bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the simplest form of debt relief. Known as liquidation bankruptcy, it allows you to obtain a complete discharge of unsecured debts such as credit card bills, medical bills and payday loans.
Not everyone is eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are not eligible for Chapter 7, you may be eligible to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Our Beaumont Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyers can talk to you about your options.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a court-approved debt repayment plan. However, unlike so called debt consolidation plans, Chapter 13 gives you the full protection of federal bankruptcy laws. When you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your creditors are forced to accept whatever payments the court determines you can afford, which may be pennies on the dollar.
