Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 35%

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy begins with the filing of a bankruptcy petition. The petition will contain a list of your assets, debts, income and expenses. The trustee, who is an attorney appointed by the Bankruptcy Court, will oversee your matter. He or she is looking for assets that can be sold with the proceeds going to pay back your creditors. Under the Bankruptcy Law, certain property is exempt meaning the trustee cannot take it from you.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 25%

Chapter 13 is a payment plan in which you make monthly payments to the Bankruptcy Trustee over a certain period of time (usually 3-5 years). The reason some people may choose to file a Chapter 13 instead of a Chapter 7 is that they have a home with equity that exceeds the exemption amount. If they were to file a Chapter 7 under that circumstance, they could lose their home. Therefore, they file a Chapter 13 so that they can keep their home.

Effective

Ben was my attorney in a recent home purchase. He was effective at working with me and the sellers, he kept me in the loop through, and he was easy to get in touch with. Definitely recommend working with him.

Excellent Service, Excellent Attorney

I used Ben for the closing on my home after finding him through my company’s Hyatt Legal Group. Ben is an extremely through and knowledgeable attorney. He help make my home-buying process so smooth and efficient. He was always responsive (day, nights, and weekends) with any questions. In addition..., he is an extremely nice person and such a pleasure to work with. At my closing, he went over in great detail the journey I’m about to embark on as a first time homeowner. Can’t thank Ben enough for all your hard work !
