Bankruptcy Debt Relief Services in Santa Rosa

Whether you are overwhelmed with credit card bills, medical bills, a large mortgage or other debt, options are available to help you get back on your feet. During your initial consultation, Julie Levy will work with you to understand the extent of your financial situation. She is committed to helping you gain control of your financial situation through Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or another debt relief solution.

  • Through Chapter 7 bankruptcy, qualifying individuals and families can wipe away any unsecured debts such as credit card bills and medical bills. The first step in a Chapter 7 filing is a means test to determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 debt relief. If you income is in excess of certain amounts you may still qualify for relief, please call to schedule a free consultation to determine your options.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy, on the other hand, restructures debts, allowing individuals or couples to pay down their consolidated debts over three to five years. After that time period, the remaining debts are wiped away. Chapter 13 is designed to provide debt relief to individuals or couples with a steady income, yet struggling to pay down unmanageable levels of debt.

This is also an effective option for clients looking to stop a foreclosure by paying back their mortgage arrears over time. Chapter 13 allows clients to negotiate with creditors on a realistic payment plan, while paying down mortgages or back taxes.
