Kostopoulos Bankruptcy Law helps California clients understand Chapter 7, Chapter 13, California exemptions, creditor pressure, foreclosure, wage garnishment, and the legal protections bankruptcy may provide.
In many cases, yes. California exemption laws may allow you to protect certain property, including equity in a home, vehicle, personal belongings, and other assets depending on your situation.
A bankruptcy attorney can review your property before anything is filed.
Filing bankruptcy may trigger the automatic stay. This court protection can stop many collection calls, wage garnishments, lawsuits, and other creditor actions after the case is filed.
This is one reason bankruptcy may provide stronger protection than private debt relief programs.
The right option depends on your income, debts, property, missed payments, and what you need to protect.
Chapter 7 may help erase qualifying unsecured debt. Chapter 13 may help you catch up on missed payments through a court payment plan.
Many Chapter 7 cases are completed within a few months. Chapter 13 usually lasts three to five years because it uses a court payment plan.
Your timeline depends on the type of case, your paperwork, your property, and whether any issues come up.
The cost depends on the type of bankruptcy, court fees, attorney fees, and the complexity of your case.
Kostopoulos Bankruptcy Law explains fees before you move forward, and flexible payment options may be available.
