An Experienced, Effective Bankruptcy Lawyer
The Marlatt Law Office of Westerville and Delaware, Ohio
For many people facing bankruptcy, their unmanageable debt is the result of circumstances beyond their control: long-term unemployment, illness or injury, divorce or a steep decline in wages. Their financial troubles simply add to the difficulties they already face. Together, the problems can create a level of stress few people are prepared for.
A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can bring much-needed relief. You not only get out from under a mountain of debt, but also out from under the strain of having to deal with constant creditor calls and bills you can't pay.

- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: this liquidation form of bankruptcy gives you get a fresh start in life. It discharges all eligible debts, including medical bills and credit card debt. In most cases, you can keep many of your possessions.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: this reorganization form of bankruptcy is for wage-earners with steady income too great to qualify for Chapter 7. It typically allows you to stop foreclosure on your home and also allows you to keep property including cars, and other major items. Some debt can be discharged, with the remainder being paid off in an affordable plan over three to five years.
Filing for bankruptcy stops harassing collection calls, as well as wage garnishment proceedings.
