Sioux Falls Chapter 7 Attorneys Working on Your Team
Even after the new bankruptcy laws passed in 2005, most people still qualify for Chapter 7. Chapter 7 is known as a liquidation or "straight" bankruptcy, where your unsecured debts are discharged in the bankruptcy court. Prior to filing bankruptcy, it is critical to speak with a lawyer about the best way to proceed. Certain actions could be detrimental to your situation, such as transferring property and paying off certain debts in large amounts.
It is a common misconception that you will lose all your personal belongings, such as your home and car. At our firm, we will counsel you on the benefits of bankruptcy and how you will likely be able to keep most (if not all) of your personal property. If you have recently considered bankruptcy, call our firm at 605-610-4524 to schedule a meeting with a lawyer. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and we can help you get there.
What Are the Benefits to Chapter 7?
Bankruptcy has many benefits. Our clients often comment that as soon as they file their bankruptcy petitions, they feel a weight lifted off their shoulders. As soon as you file Chapter 7, an automatic stay is ordered by the bankruptcy court, which means:
- Creditors are no longer allowed to contact you
- Wage garnishments are halted
- Repossessions stop
