Chapter 7 bankruptcy is best for those who want to eliminate consumer debt. It allows for a clean slate by discharging debt like:
Charge accounts
- Hospital expenses
- Unsecured installment loans
- Utility bills
- Some back taxes
Most clients do not lose assets by using Michigan?s favorable exemptions and reaffirmation agreements.
Doug Dern will guide you step by step the filing process and ensure you?re fully protected. The average Chapter 7 case is complete in about 90 to 120 days.
