What is a bankruptcy lawyer?
Bankruptcy law helps people and businesses who can't keep up with their debts get a fresh financial start through the federal bankruptcy courts. A bankruptcy lawyer guides you through options like Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (a repayment plan), handles creditor communication, and works to stop collection actions, wage garnishment, and foreclosure.
