I have a reputation for charging less than many Woodland bankruptcy attorneys. In most cases, I only charge $900 in attorney fees. For that fee I provide the same level of service as any other local bankruptcy attorney. I draft the bankruptcy paperwork, electronically file the case to stop creditors, and represent clients at the meeting of creditors and throughout the case until the court files a discharge order eliminating debt.
Everyone should speak with a bankruptcy attorney to decide if chapter 7 bankruptcy is the best decision. With that said, there are some commonalities between chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. First, clients usually have unsecured debt like credit cards, medical bills, pay day loans, or personal loans. Second, clients qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy based on low income; the client’s income for the past 6 months is lower than the California median income for a household of their size. A bankruptcy attorney makes this determination during a free consultation. Lastly, clients don’t own valuable property. In chapter 7 bankruptcy only certain assets up to certain values can be protected, so it’s important to speak with a bankruptcy attorney before filing chapter 7 bankruptcy.
People in Woodland usually file chapter 7 bankruptcy because they have equity in their home or make too much money and can’t qualify for chapter 7 bankruptcy. In chapter 13 bankruptcy homeowners can stop foreclosure and save their home through a 5 year repayment plan. Likewise, car owners can stop repossession and save their car through a 5 year chapter 13 repayment plan. As chapter 13 bankruptcy requires confirmation of a chapter 13 plan nearly everyone who successfully files chapter 13 bankruptcy is represented by a bankruptcy attorney.
Filing bankruptcy creates an automatic injunction against creditor collection actions. In other words, once a bankruptcy petition is filed creditors cannot call, send letters, file a lawsuit, foreclose on a home, repossess a car, or garnish wages. This automatic injunction is known as the Automatic Stay in bankruptcy and arises under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Automatic Stay and the protection it offers our Woodland bankruptcy clients is one of the major advantages of bankruptcy.
