St. Lucie Bankruptcy Attorney

Working Together to Resolve Debt

If you’re facing an overwhelming amount of debt, filing for bankruptcy may be a viable option to secure your financial well-being. Most people associate bankruptcy with financial disaster, but bankruptcy laws are designed to give debtors hope. There are many forms of bankruptcy, including Chapter 7 (liquidation bankruptcy) and Chapter 13 (bankruptcy with a payment plan). At Crary Buchanan, we are committed to helping people like you resolve their debt through bankruptcy. To see if bankruptcy is right for you, you contact a Port St. Lucie bankruptcy lawyer from our office today.

Which type of bankruptcy is right for you?

Three of the most common forms of bankruptcy are:

• Chapter 7
• Chapter 13
• Chapter 11

An attorney can help you determine the best path of you and your family, considering your financial and legal circumstances. Generally speaking, Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves asset liquidation, while Chapter 13 allows the debtor to keep his / her assets and start a repayment plan. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is primarily for businesses owners.
