Core Legal Services: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Filings

Choosing the appropriate bankruptcy chapter is essential for maximizing asset retention while wiping out qualifying obligations. As an experienced practitioner in consumer bankruptcy and debt relief lawyers services, attorney Langone thoroughly reviews each client's earnings, expenditures, assets, and liabilities to craft an optimal legal filing strategy.

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: For qualifying wage earners and households with limited disposable income, Chapter 7 liquidation allows for the complete discharge of unsecured debt, including credit card balances, medical invoices, personal loans, and deficiency balances, while applying generous California exemptions to protect your vehicle, retirement accounts, and household belongings.
• Chapter 13 Reorganization: Designed for wage earners with steady income or homeowners facing imminent foreclosure, Chapter 13 bankruptcy establishes a court-supervised, three-to-five-year repayment plan. This enables debtors to catch up on delinquent mortgage installments, restructure vehicle notes, manage tax debts, and prevent asset liquidation.
• Wage Garnishment and Creditor Defense: Once a petition is filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, the automatic stay instantly halts all collection lawsuits, wage withholdings, bank levies, repossessions, and harassing communications from debt collectors.
