Personal Bankruptcy





Most of my clients come to me stressed, burned out, and overwhelmed. Bankruptcy offers a fresh start. Many of my clients are happy just a few months later once their debts have been lifted, allowing them to start their financial lives again.


Bankruptcy is a tool for relief when your financial situation has become overwhelming.

A bankruptcy can offer you relief from the pressures of creditors and eliminate or reduce your debts.


The Law Office of Marc Weitz offers two options for most individuals: Chapter 7 and 11 bankruptcies.



Chapter 7


For those who qualify, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates or reduces most of your debt and allows you to begin anew. You must pass a Means Test to qualify. Simply put, in most cases, if your debts outweigh your income, you qualify.

Chapter 11


For individuals large businesses and/or real estate holdings who fall outside the limits of a chapter 7 or 13, a chapter 11 may be the answer. A chapter 11 allows you to reorganize your estate, liquidate your assets in an orderly manner, or a combination of both -- all while remaining in control your estate.

what to expect





Once you file for Bankruptcy something called the Automatic Stay takes effect, and creditors must leave you alone, or they can be liable for damages. The stay suspends foreclosures or repossessions to give you breathing room for the bankruptcy process to get your affairs order.


Next, you sit down with an appointed trustee and your creditors at what is called a “341 Creditors’ Meeting.” I will represent you at this meeting.





why hire an attorney



You hire an attorney to take full advantage of all the rights available to you in bankruptcy.


Without an attorney you take your chances, and you could suffer thousands of dollar in losses. There are pitfalls that could mean disaster for your bankruptcy. An attorney can steer you around those pitfalls and get you successfully through your bankruptcy.


I will be your guide through bankruptcy, explain to you your situation in plain English, and tell you what to expect. I know my way around the bankruptcy court and how to get you the best deal to begin your life anew.


I offer a flat-fee for Chapters 7 bankruptcies.
