Recently Asked Questions

1. Will filing for bankruptcy ruin my credit forever?

No. While bankruptcy does impact your credit, many people see improvements within a year by managing debt responsibly after filing.

2. Can I keep my home and car if I file for bankruptcy?

In many cases, yes. Especially under Chapter 13, you may be able to keep your assets while catching up on missed payments.

3. Which is better: Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debt quickly. Chapter 13 sets up a payment plan to repay debts over time while keeping assets.

4. How long does the bankruptcy process take?

Chapter 7 typically takes 3–6 months. Chapter 13 repayment plans usually last 3 to 5 years.

5. Will my employer know I filed for bankruptcy?

In most cases, no. Bankruptcy is public record, but employers are rarely notified unless wage garnishment is involved.

6. How much does it cost to file for bankruptcy?

Costs vary by case and chapter. We offer free consultations to review your situation and explain all fees up front.
