Proven Consumer Bankruptcy Solutions

Filing for bankruptcy is a legal right created under federal law to give honest individuals a fresh economic start. Debt Relief Legal Clinic guides you through the federal court system to identify the debt relief option best suited to your needs:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Commonly known as liquidation bankruptcy, Chapter 7 allows qualifying debtors to completely eliminate unsecured debts such as credit card bills, personal loans, and past-due medical accounts. Our bankruptcy lawyers carefully apply California statutory exemptions to ensure your home, automobile, and vital personal property remain protected.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: For wage earners who want to save their home from foreclosure or catch up on missed car payments, Chapter 13 consolidates debt into an affordable, court-supervised three to five year repayment plan without additional interest penalties.
• Wage Garnishment Defense: As soon as your bankruptcy petition is filed, the federal automatic stay immediately takes effect, ordering employers and creditors to cease all paycheck withholdings and bank levies.
