Experienced San Diego County Bankruptcy Attorney
Bankruptcy Help
Filing bankruptcy is difficult and stressful. Not only are there several different types, but they also have different rules for qualification and different procedures once filed. The Law Offices of Steven Brian Davis can offer expert advice about which type is best for you and help you through the confusing process.
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, for instance, is designed to liquidate your assets and give you a fresh start. It takes only about 3-4 months and provides immediate relief from the stress of creditors. Many people think they do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they make too much money, in fact, eligibility for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is based on a means test, which balances your income versus your expenses. There are several rules and exemptions, which makes many of the online calculators for this test unreliable. An experienced bankruptcy attorney in San Diego can make this process much easier.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy can take far longer (between 3-5 years!), but since the debtor is paying monthly payments to the court against the balance of debt, there are several advantages. If you are upside-down on your home mortgage or automobile loan, Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides several ways to strip second mortgages or “cram” automobile loans, bringing the balance of the loan to current market value of your car. Most importantly, Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides relief from creditors to a co-debtor (co-signer) such as a spouse or parent.
Whichever type of bankruptcy best fits your needs, there are plenty of pitfalls that an individual can find themselves in without the help of an attorney. Worse, there are several exemptions that a debtor might miss out on without the expert help of an attorney. California has some of the best bankruptcy exemptions in the United States, and an experienced San Diego County bankruptcy attorney can make all the difference in saving your assets.
