Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy Legal Services
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 are the two most common types of personal bankruptcy. Chapter 7, often called “liquidation” bankruptcy, allows you to discharge most unsecured debts like credit card bills and medical expenses. To qualify, your income must fall below a certain level. Chapter 13, or “reorganization” bankruptcy, allows you to keep your property while repaying a portion of your debts over a 3-5 year period. It’s often used by individuals who don’t qualify for Chapter 7 or want to protect their home from foreclosure.
Will I lose all of my property if I file for bankruptcy?
No. This is a common misconception. Most states, including Georgia, have “exemption” laws that allow you to keep certain assets, such as your home (up to a certain value), a vehicle, household goods, and retirement savings. Our experienced bankruptcy lawyers will work with you to understand these exemptions and build a strategy that protects as much of your property as legally possible.
How long does the bankruptcy process take?
The timeline for bankruptcy varies. A Chapter 7 case can be resolved relatively quickly, often taking just 4 to 6 months from the time of filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case, however, involves a repayment plan that lasts for either 3 or 5 years. The initial process, from the first consultation to the final filing, depends on how quickly you can gather the necessary financial documents.
How much does it cost to hire a bankruptcy lawyer?
The cost of hiring a bankruptcy lawyer varies based on the type of bankruptcy and the complexity of your case. For Chapter 7, attorneys typically charge a flat fee. For Chapter 13, the fees are often built into the repayment plan and are subject to court approval. We offer a confidential consultation to discuss your specific situation and provide a transparent fee structure upfront, with no hidden costs.
