Best Bankruptcy Lawyers in Davie, FL

You may benefit from either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, depending on your income and circumstances. In most cases, the legal requirements for each chapter will determine which you may file.

Many of our clients have concerns about the expenses associated with bankruptcy. This is understandable, as a bankruptcy filing typically involves lawyer fees as well as court fees. However, it is important to remember that those costs cover a financial fresh start, putting you in a much better position than you were in before filing.

The short answer is yes. However, your obligation to appear in court will be minimal. A month or so after filing your bankruptcy petition, you will be required to attend a hearing called a First Meeting of Creditors. If you retain our services, one of our knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyers will attend this meeting with you.

What property you can keep will depend on many factors, including your payment history, income and where you live. When we meet for an initial consultation, we can help you understand what will happen to the assets you care about.

Technically, there is no limit to how many times you can file bankruptcy. There is also no limit how often you can file. Limits apply to how often you can receive a discharge, or release from your debts. If you file too early the second time, you may be unable to receive a second bankruptcy discharge. It is important to understand those limits to avoid wasting time and money.
