The Bartlett Law Firm, P.A. has a robust bankruptcy practice. Let us assist you with your bankruptcy. We handle hundreds of personal bankruptcies every year. We do everything possible to protect whatever property you wish to keep (car, home, etc…) and preserve your valued way of life.
Most bankruptcies are Chapter 7 bankruptcies, and usually last no longer than a few months. With this kind of bankruptcy you receive a discharge in exchange for surrendering any valuable property you have that is unencumbered by loans. Usually people who file for Chapter 7 do not have property valuable enough to surrender to the Court. Furniture, clothes, electronics, and other items usually are not surrendered. Occasionally, new or expensive automobiles may be surrendered. Talk with us to determine the likely outcome of your particular case.
For some individuals, a Chapter 13 is the better option for bankruptcy. This bankruptcy is usually reserved for people whose income is too high to file for Chapter 7. In this kind of bankruptcy, your debts are discharged in exchange for creating a payment plan to pay off a portion of the debt owed. You also will not usually not be required to give up any property you would otherwise have to give up in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Sometimes, the best option is not to file bankruptcy at all. Instead, we can assist you in handling issues directly with your lenders. We will examine your situation and advise you regarding the best course of action.
We offer affordable payment plans for families and individuals who might otherwise have trouble paying for their bankruptcy. Our friendly attorneys and staff are here to talk to you about your options in a free consultation. Our prices are lower than many bankruptcy lawyers in the area. Our goal is to make your bankruptcy affordable, and keep your experience comfortable.
Often bankruptcy, if done through a lawyer trained in the art of filing the appropriate petition, is a hassle free process. In many cases your bankruptcy can be handled simply by attending one brief meeting, and assisting the attorney in gathering your necessary financial information. Our goal is to provide you with efficient and effective bankruptcy service that doesn't add stress to your busy life.
Our attorneys also have trial experience ready to be put to use to serve your needs and deal with any problem that could arise in your bankruptcy. While less common, sometimes unusual complications arise in bankruptcies and you should have an attorney with bankruptcy hearing and trial experience. Many bankruptcy lawyers have little or no bankruptcy trial experience. We have it and will use it to make sure your bankruptcy succeeds.
The law contains many pitfalls and a bankruptcy lawyer is essential to keep your interests and property safe. We are happy to help guide your way through the legal maze of bankruptcy rules, regulations, statutes and case law, but keep it simple for you to understand.
The firm also handles business reorganizations and Chapter 11 cases for businesses of all sizes. We also handle complex individual Chapter 11 bankruptcies for when all other chapters of bankruptcy cannot address reorganization for an individual person. Most bankruptcy lawyers in Florida do not handle this more complicated type of case.
Our attorneys are licensed and have attended good law schools, so you can be sure your bankruptcy petition will be quality prepared and handled by a true professional.
The Bartlett Law Firm practices throughout the entire state of Florida. If you are far away from one of our offices, our attorneys will go and visit you for your initial consultation. Call us today to set up a time and place.
