The experienced bankruptcy lawyers at Peter Francis Geraci Law conduct detailed evaluations of household income, assets, and monthly living expenses under the federal means test to ensure seamless case administration. Core Chapter 7 legal protections include:

• Permanently wiping out credit card balances, unsecured signature loans, and payday advances.

For homeowners facing mortgage delinquency or individuals with steady income exceeding Chapter 7 thresholds, Chapter 13 consolidation creates an affordable, court-supervised restructuring plan.
