Should I get an attorney?

Although it is not necessary to have an attorney, getting one can help your case move smoothly. If you pursue bankruptcy on your own without the assistance of a legal professional, you are at risk for making mistakes that could significantly impact your bankruptcy proceeding.

All work conducted by the Bankruptcy Department of our Law Firm is supervised by a lawyer that is experienced and highly respected in the legal community.

Getting started

Bankruptcy is governed by federal law, so for Columbus residents bankruptcy petitions are filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio. United States bankruptcy law provides protection to consumers who simply cannot stop the flow of debt.

Before a case is filed with the bankruptcy court, our clients will understand all debt relief options including chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy. Columbus residents that have chosen to pursue bankruptcy typically choose to file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. While the end result is the same for both types of bankruptcy, the process by which debt is eliminated will be different.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Columbus

After evaluating your financial situation, our columbus bankruptcy lawyers may determine that Chapter 7 bankruptcy will be the best way for you to eliminate your debt. The initial step is to file a bankruptcy petition. This effectively stops your creditors from harassing you, which is one of the most stressful aspects of dealing with debt.

Once the harassment stops, a trustee will oversee your case to ensure you are eliminating your debt in the most feasible way possible while satisfying your creditors as much as possible.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as “liquidation bankruptcy” because any non-exempted assets can be sold in order to satisfy your debt. This does not occur often as most property is usually exempted. Chapter 7 does enable you to discharge your debt within a relatively short period of time (usually within three to four months).

Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Columbus

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also known as “reorganization bankruptcy” because you will eliminate your debt by formulating a repayment plan through the protection of the bankruptcy court. You would first file a petition with the bankruptcy court that would stop all creditor collection activities. A trustee will help to establish a court-approved repayment plan that fits your financial situation, making payments that you can manage from month to month.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a better option for consumers who wish to keep their assets when they are behind on the payments or have too much unprotected equity. This type of bankruptcy enables consumers to learn how to manage their debt and live without accumulating more. While this type of bankruptcy is more structured, and allows you to keep your property, it does take three to five years to complete. Overall, the amount of time a Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding takes may be significantly shorter than the time it would take you to pay your debt without the protection and aid of the bankruptcy courts.
