If you are looking at bankruptcy, know that there are debt relief options available to you.

Debt-Relief Options

Depending on your situation, you’ve got a few debt-relief options to consider. You can find relief from overwhelming debt through debt consolidation, debt settlement, loan modification, or by filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Federal Bankruptcy Court.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can give many people the rapid financial relief they need right now.

Chapter 13 Debt Consolidation

On the other hand, creating a Chapter 13 debt consolidation plan to repay some or all of your debt can be a great option for higher-income individuals who are struggling financially but want to preserve more assets. Chapter 13 plans allow you to repay debt over time.

How Bankruptcy Works

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is designed to discharge or eliminate many consumer debt obligations. This means that qualified consumers can get a fresh financial start by wiping out their debts.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, on the other hand, restructures your debt into a manageable monthly payment plan. This option allows you to repay some or all of your debt over time while keeping many of your assets.

I came into Jenny's office full of anxiety about an impending legal case. She was very compassionate, kind and knowledgeable. She listened intently to my concerns and answered all of my questions thoroughly. She is up front and easy to understand. I am so thankful to have found her. She really has made a huge difference in my fear and anxiety over the current issue and I know I can count on her to represent me to the best of her ability. I would encourage anyone to meet with her just one time, they will be convinced, as I am, that she is who you need on your side. I will most definitely be contacting her for any future financial legal troubles I have.

Jennie and her team are incredibly caring, thorough, and professional. They helped my family and I through a difficult and complicated bankruptcy for the best possible outcome. They were supportive and never judgmental. They were able to work around our timelines and special needs and always kept up informed at each step of the process. For something that is going to be a horrible experience no matter what, Jennie's office made it as 'pleasant' as imaginable. Our immense gratitude to everyone at the office.

My wife and I hired Jennie Patton for our bankruptcy. She met with us for over an hour and explained the process and what to expect. She was very easy to talk to and answered all of our questions. We filed a fairly complex chapter 7 bankruptcy. Our paralegal Kate kept us on track and was quick to reply to our emails. At court Ms. Patton was more prepared than the other attorneys. Everyone at Ms. Patton's office was so helpful and understanding. They made a difficult situation much easier.

Christine

Jenni Patton is by far THE BEST, she's been doing this for many years, she is well respected by the Court and Commissioners. We were referred to Jennie's office by a friend/co-worker, we knew during the consult appt this was the right Attorney! We felt very comfortable and she truly cared about us and answered our many questions.

I've actually used Jennie Patton twice now for bankruptcy and both times were made to be very easy and painless. Personally I have recommended her to quite a few people.
