Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Lawyer in Fresno, CA

Obtain Debt Relief with Chapter 13 in California

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is one of the most common choices individuals make when attempting to settle debts. Whereas Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates all non-exempt assets in exchange for the near-total elimination of debt, Chapter 13 is a debt reorganization program. It allows the filer to retain more of their assets and property in exchange for paying off more of their debt. For some individuals with income above the state median, Chapter 13 is their only bankruptcy option.
