Ron Drescher solves your bankruptcy problems in Maryland Virginia Pennsylvania and Delaware
I believe strongly in listening. By carefully listening to my clients, I can help them prioritize their needs and reach decisions that make the best sense for them, their companies and/or their families.
Similarly, I listen carefully to the judges, trustees, co-owners and adversaries so that I can help them obtain what they really want from the transaction, while at the same time helping my clients realize their goals.

Chapter 11 allows great flexibility to help businesses maintain their going concern value by restructuring economic relationships and staying creditors from enforcing their legal remedies. Chapter 11 also helps high asset individuals to reorganize their economic lives.

Chapter 7 is a "straight liquidation" that allows debtors the greatest possible fresh start from their debts. Most Chapter 7 cases are "no asset" cases where the debtor retains their exempt property and the property that is fully secured by lien creditors.

Chapter 13 provides opportunities for consumer debtors (and, occasionally, business debtors too) to retain their homes or repay all or part of their debts by making monthly payments to a Chapter 13 trustee.
