Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Solutions

Bankruptcy is a powerful federal tool designed to protect honest debtors and allow them to start anew. Many people mistakenly believe that filing for bankruptcy means they will lose all their property, including their home and vehicle. In reality, Connecticut and federal exemption statutes allow most filers to keep their primary residence, personal belongings, and retirement accounts. Attorney Gustafson evaluates your income, debts, and assets to determine the most advantageous filing strategy, including:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Commonly known as straight bankruptcy, this program can completely discharge unsecured liabilities such as credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans in a matter of months.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Ideal for homeowners facing foreclosure, this option restructures your debt into a comfortable three-to-five-year repayment plan, allowing you to catch up on missed mortgage payments and save your home.
• Creditor Harassment Protection: Filing for bankruptcy activates an automatic stay, which legally bars creditors from contacting you, suing you, or garnishing your wages.

If you plan to hire an attorney to explore personal bankruptcy options, Attorney Gustafson's deep procedural expertise ensures your rights are protected throughout Fairfield County.
