Comprehensive Bankruptcy and Debt Relief Services
At Wellman Law LLC, we do not split our focus among multiple unrelated practice areas. We specialize strictly in bankruptcy law and strategic debt negotiation, allowing us to maintain deep, up-to-date knowledge of local court procedures and trustee guidelines in Kansas and Missouri. We represent clients in several key areas:
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Liquidation
Often referred to as straight bankruptcy, Chapter 7 allows eligible individuals to completely discharge most forms of unsecured debt, including credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans. We walk you through the complex Kansas means test, utilize all available federal and state exemptions to protect your home, car, and personal belongings, and help you emerge with a completely clean slate in as little as a few months.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and Debt Reorganization
If you have a steady income but have fallen behind on your mortgage payments, or do not pass the means test for Chapter 7, Chapter 13 offers a powerful remedy. This chapter allows you to consolidate your past-due obligations into a manageable, court-approved three-to-five-year repayment plan. It immediately halts foreclosure actions, stops repossession proceedings, and allows you to catch up on missed payments over time while keeping your valuable assets.
Non-Bankruptcy Debt Negotiation and Foreclosure Defense
Bankruptcy is not always the only answer. We perform comprehensive financial evaluations to explore non-bankruptcy options, including loan and mortgage modifications, strategic debt negotiations, foreclosure defense, and Small Business Administration (SBA) Offers in Compromise, ensuring we find the absolute best fit for your unique goals.
