Bankruptcy

Are you struggling with debt? Does your financial situation leave you overwhelmed? Bankruptcy can be the answer!

Bankruptcy is a legal procedure initiated by an individual or a business that cannot pay their debts and seeks to have the debts discharged or reorganized by the courts. In bankruptcy proceedings, your assets (other than your exempt assets) are gathered together and sold.

Once you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay is initiated, protecting you from your creditors and bill collectors. The automatic stay stops any lawsuit that is filed against you by a creditor, collection agency, government entity, or other person seeking money from you.

One of the primary purposes of bankruptcy is to provide relief through the discharge of certain debts to give an honest individual debtor a "fresh start." As a result, the debtor has no liability for discharged debts.

Mr. Cervantes can appreciate how you feel when dealing with financial pressure. He and his staff can help you relieve the stress and begin a fresh start to a new and bright financial future.
