Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Lawyers Helping You Get a Fresh Financial Start

Financial obligations can come from many different sources and can become impossible to meet. With a single injury or illness, medical bills can spiral rapidly out of control. Unexpected unemployment can lead to financial strain, causing people to rely on credit cards to keep food on the table. The rapid downturn in the housing market has left many homeowners facing foreclosure — with mortgages that are more expensive than the value of their homes.

Regardless of the origin of your financial troubles, the bankruptcy attorneys of Bertolino LLP can effectively help you get debt relief. We provide skilled legal representation in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings to help our clients get a fresh financial start.

If you want to stop creditor harassment and take control of your financial future, contact our offices today. From offices in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, we serve clients throughout central and southern Texas.

Understanding Your Options

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as debt liquidation bankruptcy, provides a debtor with a clean slate. If you file under Chapter 7, a bankruptcy trustee will be responsible for collecting and selling your assets. The proceeds of the sale will go to your creditors — in exchange, most of your debts will be completely erased.

However, not everyone is eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Successful applicants must meet a means test to qualify for this form of bankruptcy. In essence, an applicant must have limited income — otherwise, consumer debt relief is available under Chapter 13.
