Wayne Bankruptcy Attorney

Many creditors mislead consumers into believing that they are not eligible to file bankruptcy under the new laws that went into effect in 2005. In reality, the vast majority of debtors are eligible to file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

At Goldman & Beslow, LLC, our attorneys have more than 40 years of experience helping debtors get a fresh financial start. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation and answer your questions about bankruptcy. We offer services in Wayne, Passaic County and other New Jersey communities.

Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Wayne

You are eligible to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy as long as you do not earn more than the median income in New Jersey. The median income changes depending on the size of your household. Even if you earn more than the median income, you may still be eligible if your living expenses are high and you pass what is known as the means test. Our lawyers will review your financial situation and let you know if you are eligible.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the simplest and fastest form of bankruptcy protection. However, Chapter 7 bankruptcy would not be appropriate for you if:

  • You own valuable assets such as vacation homes, expensive cars and other assets that are not protected
  • You have significant equity in your home
  • You are facing home foreclosure and you want to keep your home

Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Wayne

If you are not eligible to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide a debt solution. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may also be a good option if you have valuable assets that you would lose in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a debt reduction and repayment plan for consumers. If you are facing home foreclosure, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to stop the foreclosure and pay off arrearages over time. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may also allow you to eliminate second and third mortgages in certain situations.
