Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m Drowning In Debt. Is Bankruptcy For Me?
    Quite possibly. Despite the social stigma, bankruptcy is often the fastest and most efficient way to get back in good financial standing. Contact our office today to speak with an attorney who can assess your circumstances and make an informed decision about whether or not bankruptcy is the best option for you.
  • I’m Unemployed And Unable To Pay My Debts. Under Which Type Of Bankruptcy Should I File?
    Your lack of income will most certainly pass the Georgia means test, which requires Chapter 7 filers to have an income of less than the Georgia median income level based on the size of your household. This will allow you to liquidate your assets and come out of the bankruptcy process with the majority of your debts wiped out in just three to five months.
  • I Don’t Want To Lose My House! Which Type Of Bankruptcy Will Allow Me To Keep It?
    It may be possible to keep possession of your home through either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, however, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to retain your original mortgage and make payments over time.
