Bankruptcy Guiding You Through the Legal Process

Guiding Consumers and Businesses Through the Bankruptcy Process in Lake County

If you are struggling to survive financially in the current economic climate, bankruptcy can be a viable solution for you to move beyond these hardships. At The Law Office of Michael E. Golub P.A., we believe in providing the support and resources you need to understand your options and make the best decisions based on your specific circumstances. We assist consumers and corporations with all types of bankruptcy, including Chapters 7, 11, 12 and 13.

Skilled Representation for a Broad Range of Bankruptcy Protection

Our firm routinely accepts cases involving the four main methods of bankruptcy:

  • Chapter 7 Chapter 7 is the most common form of consumer bankruptcy. This method requires debtors to liquidate their assets in return for dischargeable debt. The debtor is entitled to keep specified exempt property available under federal or state law. Filing a Chapter 7 petition triggers an automatic stay that stops creditors from attempting to collect any further debts from the debtor.
  • Chapter 11 – Chapter 11 bankruptcy is used by corporations or partnerships to create a plan for reorganization and pay creditors over time.
  • Chapter 12 – Family farmers or family fishermen with regular annual incomes are eligible to file for Chapter 12 bankruptcy. Similar to Chapter 11, financially distressed farmers may file a plan for repayment and make installment payments to creditors.
  • Chapter 13 Chapter 13 allows individuals with a stable income to retain their property and make payments to creditors over a specified period of time while potentially avoiding foreclosure. There are limits on the amount of debt you may have and still be eligible for Chapter 13 assistance.

While filing bankruptcy can be an effective way of getting a fresh start, it is important to note that not all debts are dischargeable. Child support and alimony payments, in addition to some federal income taxes, are not dischargeable. In most cases, student loans cannot be discharged, either.

It is important to seek a qualified bankruptcy lawyer to discuss your specific needs and choose the right method of bankruptcy. Our attorney will work closely with you to identify what debt you may be able to discharge by filing bankruptcy.
