Comprehensive Bankruptcy Services In Massachusetts

Our bankruptcy practice is dedicated to helping people confront financial problems, deal with them the right way and move forward in life. To accomplish those goals, we can help people file for either type of personal bankruptcy:

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy: For those who are unable to pay back their debts, Chapter 7 can provide a fresh start by eliminating unsecured debts like medical bills and credit card debt.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: For people who have some ability to pay, Chapter 13 allows them to restructure debt into manageable monthly payments for a three- to five-year period. At the end of this time period, any remaining unsecured debt is eliminated. It also affords people an opportunity to save their house from foreclosure. A further benefit is the stripping (removal) of a second mortgage.

Attorney Yellin also assists people who are experiencing divorce during bankruptcy.

Saving You From Stress

A proper bankruptcy filing has many immediate benefits that make your life much less stressful. The court will issue an automatic stay, which halts any legal proceedings against you and bars any new lawsuits. Other important benefits include:

  • Stopping collections calls, letters and other forms of creditor harassment
  • Stopping foreclosure
  • Stopping wage garnishment
  • Stopping vehicle repossession

In the vast majority of cases, filing bankruptcy does not mean you have to lose your property. Through the use of exemptions and other features of bankruptcy law, chances are good that you will be able to keep your home, car, retirement accounts, household belongings and other important items.

You Can Still Qualify For Bankruptcy Protection

Even though the bankruptcy laws underwent significant changes in 2005, many people are still eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. When you come to us, we will analyze your finances and determine if you qualify. If you do, we can proceed with Chapter 7 debt liquidation. If you do not, then we will advise you on the possibility of filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection.
