Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 70%

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation bankruptcy which allows a person to eliminate most or all of his/her debt. In most cases in Oregon and Washington, after application of exemptions that protect assets, around 95% of people will not have any assets taken by the Bankruptcy Trustee.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy 30%

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a reorganization of debt. Chapter 13 has many solutions a Chapter 7 bankruptcy doesn't offer for example: allowing a person to get caught on past due mortgage payments, stripping off 2nd liens/mortgages, and paying priority tax debt by the IRS or the State.

I REFER ALL MY FRIENDS TO SCOTT

I loved that Mr. Hutchison responded to all my emails and phone calls in a prompt manner. He was also patient with all my questions and made me feel more calm about my bankruptcy when I would get anxious. It was easy to obtain an appt and with my busy schedual that was wonderful. I would send anyone ...to Mr. Hutchinson and would go back to him in the future.

Worthy attorney

I found Scott to be extremely easy to work with. He was very clear about explaining things to me without making me feel stupid about the things I didn't understand. I appreciated that enormously! He also helped me to feel less humilated about having to go through this process, something else I sin...cerely appreciated. He's not only very knowledgable about bankruptcy laws, he's also pleasant to talk to, and humorous to boot! I was extremely pleased with the outcome, and glad to have him represent me at this difficult time.

Highly recommended, my life is better for knowing him!

My father did research for me and found Scott for me. It was easy to make an appointment, although it was one of the most difficult decisions I have made. At out first meeting both my fears of the process and my emotional disquietude were quelled. Scott is a terrific and well learned lawyer. He mad...e my journey through bankruptcy understandable, with clear deadlines and instructions. I highly recommend Scott as a professional and highly dedicated lawyer.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
