BUSINESS LAW AND BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

Personal finance is never easy to deal with, whether you reside in Houston, Conroe, or anywhere in The Woodlands of the State of Texas. No one is taught how to really deal with debt, or how to deal with creditors, especially if it results from an injury or illness.

Creditors also break the rules at time and it's important to have an attorney who understands them and help guide you so you make the best possible decision.  Sometimes bankrupty can be prevented and we look at those options too. 

There are two types of bankruptcy for individual debtors.  What is the difference?

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, also known as “liquidation bankruptcy,” eliminates your debt by taking your non-exempt property (if you have any) and selling it. The money from those sales goes toward things like your hospital bills or credit card debts.  

On the other hand, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, or “reorganization bankruptcy,” takes all of your debts and reorganizes into one simple payment plan that lasts typically about three to five years. The attorneys fees for a Chapter 13 are paid out through the plan.
