Bankruptcy

Let Jay B. Shuster Handle Your Bankruptcy Case

There are many people who suffer financial hardship because of loss of job, divorce, medical problems, or overuse of credit cards. Sometimes, bankruptcy is not the answer - there are other things that may be done which may serve you better.

• I may advise you to wait to file under certain circumstances.
• If you do not own a home, or have insufficient equity in your home, and you have a certain income level, a Chapter 7 may be your best solution - it will discharge your debts.
• If you do own a home, and you have a certain amount of equity in the home, or you have a higher level of income, a Chapter 13 petition may be your best solution, even though it requires a payment plan of over 3 or 5 years.
• If you have a second mortgage on your home, and the value of the home is less than your first mortgage, you may be able to strip off the second mortgage in a Chapter 13.
