Understanding Your Bankruptcy Options
Many people fear filing for bankruptcy because of preexisting misconceptions. Bankruptcy is not shameful, and it does not leave a dark mark on your credit. It is a legal tool that offers a fresh start to more than 500,000 Americans annually. Our bankruptcy lawyers can assist you in filing:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: Eliminates most unsecured debt, such as credit card balances.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy: Businesses use this to keep operating while they reorganize their debts.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: You create a three to five-year plan to pay back some of what you owe.
Each chapter of bankruptcy serves a specific purpose. We help you choose the path that offers long-lasting debt relief. In addition, we can represent clients in civil litigation involving bankruptcy.
The Oklahoma Bankruptcy Process And Timeline
Most bankruptcy clients go through a similar set of steps. These include:
- Scheduling an initial consultation to discuss your options
- Gathering documents such as tax returns, pay stubs and bank statements
- Filing the bankruptcy petition with the court
- Attending the meeting of creditors
- Completing financial education courses
- Receiving your final discharge
A Chapter 7 case often finishes in four to six months. Chapter 13 cases last several years.
We use digital systems to gather your records quickly. Our team uses AI-driven tools to make the process as efficient as possible.
Will You Lose Your House If You File For Bankruptcy?
Most people who file for bankruptcy get to keep their homes. Oklahoma law offers protections for your primary residence.
Can Bankruptcy Stop Wage Garnishment And Creditor Calls?
Yes. An automatic stay goes into effect the moment we file your case, halting creditors from calling you or taking your pay.
What Debts Cannot Be Eliminated In Bankruptcy?
You generally cannot discharge student loans, most taxes or child support. A lawyer from our team will review every debt to see what we can wipe away.
