Are you thinking of consumer bankruptcy in Lawrenceville?
The seat of Gwinnett County, Lawrenceville is named for Commodore James Lawrence, commander of the U.S.S. Chesapeake, a frigate during the War of 1812. Today, Lawrence is probably best known for his dying command, “Don’t give up the ship!” Unfortunately, that battle ended with the British taking the Chesapeake and later selling it for lumber. The tale of the Chesapeake is something to consider, if you find yourself struggling against overwhelming debt. It’s hard to know while you’re in the fight whether the battle is already lost. That’s why it’s so important to look for reliable advice from a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney who will put your interests first.

Wiping the slate clean with Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Chapter 7 is consumer bankruptcy that lets you discharge certain debts in only a few short months. The kinds of debt you can generally discharge include:
- Credit cards
- Medical bills
- Utility bills
- Unsecured personal loans
Unfortunately, you cannot discharge some types of debt, such as unpaid alimony and child support, secured loans, most back taxes, student loans, and debt that’s recent enough to give the impression you were already planning to file for bankruptcy. To qualify for Chapter 7, you must pass the means test by showing you don’t earn too much money. As soon as you file, the court issues an automatic stay that bars your creditors from continuing efforts to collect. That’s right, no more harassing collection calls! Bankruptcy can be complex, but our attentive attorneys guide you through the entire process. If all goes well, the court can discharge your debt in just a few short months.
Halting home foreclosure in Lawrenceville with Chapter 13 bankruptcy
If your income is too high for Chapter 7, you can file Chapter 13. But, you might also choose Chapter 13 to stop foreclosure on your home or prevent the repossession of your car. The court still issues an automatic stay, so your creditors must stop contacting you. But, instead of discharge in a few months, you must first stick to a court-approved payment plan for a period of three to five years, depending on your income. We help you develop a plan based on your disposable income, and you make one monthly payment to the bankruptcy trustee who then pays your creditors. When you finish your plan, the bankruptcy judge discharges your remaining eligible debt, and you are financially free!
