If you are facing financial challenges that seem overwhelming, it is important to understand that you are not alone. We work with clients every day in the Kansas City area who are facing crushing debt, foreclosure and a financial situation that seems completely unmanageable. Our attorneys are licensed in Kansas and Missouri, and we can help you decide whether or not bankruptcy is right for you.

With a troubled job market and an up and down economy, many families have lost their incomes — and perhaps you are in the same boat. As a result, you may have purchased your home or vehicle with the expectation of being able to pay it off, only to have everything change. It happens all the time. And, if you are in this position, you can work with an experienced Kansas City Chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney to get your debt back under control.

Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy has a few distinct advantages, particularly if the level of income you receive no longer matches the expenses you're obligated to pay. Sometimes known as the debt liquidation bankruptcy, this filing allows you to hold on to your personal assets as you gain control over your unsecured debt like credit card bills. Imagine being able to stop a foreclosure, harassing phone calls, and manage financial obligations with ease.
