Our experienced lawyer can help you determine if Chapter 7 bankruptcy is right for you.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, often called “liquidation” bankruptcy, involves selling certain assets to pay back creditors. It’s often most beneficial for individuals and small-business owners overwhelmed by unsecured debts. Some of the most common debts that are discharged include credit card balances, medical bills, past-due utility bills, and unpaid repossessions. Consulting with us at Gort Law P.A will help you navigate the process smoothly, ensuring your rights and assets are protected every step of the way.
