Discharging Unsecured Debts for a Fresh Start

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, often known as liquidation bankruptcy, provides a powerful tool for eliminating most unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans. This process can give you a clean slate by discharging qualifying debts and allowing you to move forward with financial freedom.


At Stearns & Hammer, we guide you through every step of the Chapter 7 process with meticulous care. Our team will start with a thorough evaluation to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements based on your income and financial situation. We’ll assist with preparing and filing your bankruptcy petition, ensuring all required documentation is accurate and complete.



Our goal is to make the Chapter 7 process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’ll represent you at all necessary hearings, handle communications with creditors, and work diligently to protect your rights and interests. By choosing Chapter 7, you’re taking a significant step toward financial relief. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve a fresh start.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Reorganize and Repay for Financial Recovery

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is designed for individuals who have a regular income but need a structured plan to manage and repay their debts over time. Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 allows you to keep your assets while repaying a portion of your debts through a court-approved repayment plan.


At Stearns & Hammer, we provide expert guidance in crafting a repayment plan that fits your financial situation. Our team will work with you to develop a plan that addresses your debts while taking into account your income and expenses. We’ll assist with filing the necessary paperwork, negotiating with creditors, and ensuring compliance with the repayment plan.



We are committed to helping you achieve financial stability and regain control over your finances. Our attorneys will represent you throughout the Chapter 13 process, providing the support you need to successfully complete the repayment plan and move forward with a healthier financial outlook. Contact us to discuss how Chapter 13 can help you manage your debt while maintaining your assets.
