- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: A reorganization plan designed for those with regular income who wish to repay a portion of their debts over time, often used to save a home from foreclosure or a car from repossession.
- Debt Relief & Foreclosure Prevention: providing legal interventions to halt creditor harassment and protect your assets.
When you find a lawyer at Capital Bankruptcy, you are choosing a professional who has served as the Chairperson of the Bankruptcy Section of the Federal Bar Association (West Michigan) and is an adjunct professor at Michigan State University College of Law.
