Why hire Wood & Brewer if I need a Chapter 7 or 13 Bankruptcy Lawyer in Dublin, Ohio?

Why hire Wood & Brewer for Your Dublin, Ohio Bankruptcy Case?

Filing for bankruptcy is an important decision that can have a lasting impact on your life. Therefore, it’s important to consult an attorney prior to doing so in an effort to make an educated decision. Let’s take a look at why you should consider our firm if a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is likely in your future.

We’ll Determine Which One Is Best for Your Needs

Not everyone will qualify for a Chapter 7 liquidation, and in some cases, you might not qualify for either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case. This depends largely on your income, the types of debts that you have and the amount of debt that you have. It also depends on whether you have assets like a house or car that you want to keep or retain equity in.

We Can Help You File

Our team has the experience and skill necessary to file your case in a proper and timely manner. While hiring an attorney may represent a significant upfront expense during a financially perilous time, we believe that it is worth it. In a bankruptcy case, a single error could potentially cost you thousands of dollars in lost assets or expose you to potential criminal or civil liability.

We Can Help During and After Your Case

It’s not unheard of for creditors to pursue a debt after discharge. We can work with your creditors to ensure that you aren’t pressured to pay debts that you no longer owe. If necessary, we can pursue legal action for violating the automatic stay while your case is active or the bar against collection after the case is discharged. In a Chapter 13 case, you’ll make payments for up to five years, which means it’s important to have someone on your side who is going to be around for the long haul.

If you are struggling to pay bills or otherwise need financial relief, bankruptcy may be your best option. Our team can work with you to determine if this is true in your case and then develop a strategy to ensure that you discharge or reorganize your debts properly and in a timely fashion.
