FAQ

Questions About Bankruptcy Law?

Get answers to common questions. Still have questions? for a free consultation.

01

Will I lose everything if I file bankruptcy?

No. New York has generous exemptions that protect many assets including your home (up to certain equity limits), retirement accounts, personal property, and tools of your trade. Most people keep everything important to them.

02

How long does bankruptcy affect my credit?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years, and Chapter 13 for 7 years. However, many people can begin rebuilding credit immediately and see significant improvement within 2-3 years after filing.

03

What debts can bankruptcy eliminate?

Bankruptcy can discharge credit card debt, medical bills, personal loans, old utility bills, and many other unsecured debts. Student loans, recent taxes, child support, and alimony generally cannot be discharged.

04

Should I file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

It depends on your income, assets, and goals. Chapter 7 is faster and eliminates most debts but has income limits. Chapter 13 lets you keep assets and catch up on mortgages but requires a 3-5 year repayment plan. We'll help you choose the right option.
