All of the above. Plus my extended efforts to make sure every aspect of your case is addressed and administered smoothly. Chapter 7 allows you to discharge your debt and most often keep your home and other assets. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy allows your business to remain in operation and retain control over most or all of your assets.
Chapter 13 is an option if you can't file Chapter 7 and/or wish to pay taxes or catch up your house payment.

Services
Bankruptcy Attorney Bakersfield | To use a nature analogy, Debtor/Creditor law can be like predator and prey where obtaining payment is like catching a fish. Bankruptcy may not be an option if you are a debtor. You may be facing a defense of that creditor demand. You may also have rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Bankruptcy Lawyer Bakersfield | A Bankruptcy lawyer learns Bankruptcy law and procedure over the course of a career. He or she also accumulates a reservoir of information in other areas of law. Clients come to a Bankruptcy attorney with unique personal and business issues that touch on family law, contracts, real property, and of course, debtor/creditor problems, to name just a few.
Bankruptcy Lawyer Bakersfield | STUDENT LOANS | You invested in your future by receiving a college education. But sometimes, those investments don't immediately pay off. Finding the job of your dreams can be difficult in a challenging economy. And with the cost of higher education rising steadily, it is likely that you left school not only with a degree but also student loan debt.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy | For many Bakersfield families filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy means they can seek relief from debt collectors and still save their assets. Unlike Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy doesn't mean you will erase most debt all at one time. The advantage of this filing is that it will immediately stop all creditor collection efforts, in most cases.

Quite by accident I came upon these reviews and discovered I had not made an entry thanking and praising Max's stellar support more than 10 years ago. At a low point in my life, when a "five star" "Obamacare" health insurance policy proved bogus, Max lifted my wife and I up and saved us from deep depression and disgrace. He is a deeply compassionate soul.
Max and his staff are expert practitioners, using high standards of duty and competence to file all papers needed for swift and enduring relief. He was always prepared for hearings. His papers were always flawless. We received a total discharge

Mr. Gardner and his staff were great. Very professional, yet very caring and supportive throughout the process. He's someone who took a very personal approach with me. He addressed all my issues and concerns. I found the whole process to be quick with the results turning in my favor. In court, he stood beside me and while sensing my anxiety about being there, he was able to encourage me to talk to the judge in truthfully and every thing would be alright. It was, so for that I thank Mr. Gardner for lifting the weight off my shoulders that I had carried for a long time. I definitely would recommend
