Filing the wrong chapter of bankruptcy can cost you assets you could have kept, or leave you with debts you could have discharged. An attorney ensures you choose the right path.
The moment you file bankruptcy, an automatic stay stops all collection actions — calls, lawsuits, garnishments, and foreclosure proceedings. An attorney gets this protection in place quickly.
Bankruptcy exemptions are complex and vary by state. An attorney knows exactly which assets you can protect and structures your filing to maximize what you keep.
Mistakes on bankruptcy paperwork can result in your case being dismissed, debts not being discharged, or worse — allegations of bankruptcy fraud. The forms are extensive and unforgiving.
Creditors have lawyers. When you file, those lawyers look for ways to object to your discharge. Your attorney anticipates and addresses those objections.

Review reports for errors, ensure discharged debts show zero balances, obtain a secured credit card, make all payments on time, and gradually build positive history.
