At Collier Law Firm, we understand that no one plans to file for bankruptcy. Life happens—job loss, medical bills, divorce, or unexpected emergencies can quickly spiral into overwhelming debt. If you're feeling the pressure and wondering if there's a way out, bankruptcy might be the solution you need to reset and rebuild.

Bankruptcy Isn’t the End—It’s a New Beginning

There’s a lot of fear and stigma surrounding the word “bankruptcy,” but in reality, it’s a legal tool designed to help individuals and families get a second chance. When used strategically and with the right legal guidance, bankruptcy can stop creditor harassment, prevent foreclosure, and eliminate certain types of debt for good.

What Bankruptcy Can Do for You

If you’re drowning in debt and considering your options, here’s how bankruptcy through Collier Law Firm can help:

• Put an immediate stop to collection calls and wage garnishments
• Pause or prevent foreclosure on your home
• Eliminate unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans
• Allow you to restructure payments on debts like car loans or back taxes

With our experienced team guiding you, bankruptcy can be the turning point that gives you room to breathe again.

Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13: What’s the Difference?

At Collier Law Firm, we offer two primary types of bankruptcy for individuals:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Known as “liquidation,” this is ideal for those with limited income and high unsecured debt. It can wipe out most debts quickly—but not everyone qualifies.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Often referred to as a “reorganization,” this option allows you to keep your assets while repaying a portion of your debt over 3 to 5 years. It’s great for people who want to catch up on missed mortgage or car payments.

We’ll evaluate your financial situation and help you choose the best path forward.
