Strategic Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Services

Filing for bankruptcy is a legal right designed to provide honest debtors with a fresh financial start. Our highly skilled consumer bankruptcy lawyers evaluate your unique financial situation to determine the most effective legal path. Our bankruptcy services include:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Also known as liquidation bankruptcy, this option allows eligible clients to completely wipe out unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans, in as little as 90 to 120 days.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Designed for homeowners and individuals with steady income, Chapter 13 establishes a structured, court-approved repayment plan over three to five years to catch up on mortgage arrears, stop repossession, and restructure debts.
• Debt Settlement: Negotiating directly with credit card issuers and lenders to settle outstanding balances for a fraction of what you owe.

If you need to find a lawyer who can help you discharge debts while keeping your home, car, and pension, Fairmax Law provides the expert, step-by-step guidance necessary to navigate the Summit County bankruptcy courts successfully.
