Bankruptcy Attorney in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Most often, clients who enter Stacy's office are concerned about two main points:
- How will they be able to pay for their bankruptcy?
- Will they be able to keep their home, car, and other assets?
Stacy will fully analyze your situation during your consultation. She will explain to you the costs involved in a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy and will work out a manageable payment plan that fits your situation. Finally, Stacy will explain to you what bankruptcy options are available to you and how those options will affect your family and your assets.
Determining Which Bankruptcy Chapter Is Appropriate for You
During your initial consultation, Stacy will perform what is called a "means test" to see if you are eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (also known as liquidation bankruptcy). If you are, she will file the proper paperwork and represent you in any meetings before the bankruptcy trustee. This process generally only takes a few short months to finalize.
If you are not eligible for Chapter 7, Stacy will pursue Chapter 13 bankruptcy for you. This option is often called the wage earner's plan, as it takes into account your monthly wage and allows you to pay a trustee one monthly payment over a three or five year process.
