Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Riverside Bankruptcy Lawyer

California Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer Providing Debt Relief

With over a million estimated bankruptcies filed each year, it is wise to consult with a bankruptcy lawyer about using Chapter 7 to get out of debt and not lose your hard-earned free consultation assets and property.

At The Mellor Law Firm, our Riverside bankruptcy practice provides clients in San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles and surrounding counties with big firm experience and personalized service.

Help Understanding Chapter 7

Despite misinformation that bankruptcy is no longer an option for getting out of financial trouble, personal bankruptcy under Chapter 7 is still a viable means for discharging debt.

While filing involves passing a means test to determine if you qualify, the goal of Chapter 7 is to help you:
  • Prevent foreclosure on a home
  • Discharge debt from personal loans and credit cards
  • Avoid deficiency debts
  • Relieve business debts
  • Stop creditor harassment
  • Prevent wage garnishment
  • Resolve possible lawsuits
Unlike a Chapter 13, bankruptcy filing, filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 is a simple and faster way to resolve your financial difficulties by having a trustee take possession of your assets, protecting exempt assets and liquidating non-exempt ones. Our bankruptcy attorney provides guidance in finding out how to qualify and properly file all forms to resolve matters in as little as 90 to 120 days.
