Many people fear they no longer can seek debt relief under the current bankruptcy laws. But personal bankruptcy is still a viable alternative. With more than 20 years of bankruptcy experience, our lawyers have helped people in almost every kind of financial circumstance protect their assets and eliminate debt by filing bankruptcy. We often take over on cases that other bankruptcy lawyers been unable to effectively handle and file cases that other bankruptcy lawyers have turned down.

At Weintraub & Selth, APC, our business bankruptcy lawyers are passionately committed to helping you achieve the best possible financial outcome.
If you have more than $15,000 in debt and fewer than 10 creditors, negotiating for debt restructuring may provide a solution to your financial problems.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy enables individuals to eliminate credit card debt, judgments, medical bills and other types of debt and move forward with their lives without the loss of exempt personal assets. It also allows owners of failed businesses to close down their operations quickly and efficiently.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy gives businesses time to reorganize themselves, while allowing them to manage debt with uncooperative creditors, and get out of burdensome leases and contracts. It also provides debt relief to individuals who have assets that would be at risk in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and who need more flexibility or have more debt than is allowed in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a debt repayment plan for individuals. It allows individuals to protect a house from foreclosure while catching up on past-due mortgage payments. It also allows individuals to reduce debts by paying a reduced amount over time.
