Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Services With Our Jackson, Michigan, Attorney
Mark H. Hashley, PLC - Bankruptcy and Debt Relief Representation
During these difficult economic times, people often find themselves in a financial bind that they cannot seem to get out of. Often, lawsuits have been filed against them, and their wages are being garnished. Their home may be in danger of foreclosure, or their vehicle in danger of repossession. They may have credit card balances and interest rates that have grown beyond their ability to pay, and creditors calling on a daily basis making unreasonable demands. If given a fresh start, many of these people can recover from these obstacles and earn back their good credit.
Attorney Mark H. Hashley, PLC helps these clients by filing for bankruptcy under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. For those who qualify for bankruptcy, we can obtain relief from unrelenting creditors, stop wage garnishments, and at the same time, ensure that the client keeps all of the possessions and assets that he or she is entitled to. In other words, Mark H. Hashley, PLC, can give you the fresh start that you deserve, and put yourself on a path to financial success.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
A form of consumer or personal bankruptcy, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also sometimes called a "fresh start" bankruptcy. This is because some or all of your debt may be discharged in order for you to regain control of your financial situation.
- Chapter 7 begins with us compiling a list of all your outstanding debts. All creditors receive a notice that the bankruptcy has been filed and are given an opportunity to object to the bankruptcy or to file claims to retrieve collateral under security interests they hold. An experienced bankruptcy attorney such as myself can help determine which debts are subject to liens or not dischargeable and may also identify which creditor's claims may not, in actuality, be valid.
- Typically, a Chapter 7 case begins with the filing of a petition in bankruptcy court, includes your attendance at a meeting of your creditors and may result in the subsequent discharge of your debts by the bankruptcy court.
- Since not all debt may be dischargeable, we discuss with you the options you have for filing bankruptcy. In some cases, a combination of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies may be appropriate. I am committed to tailoring the way in which I approach the case to suit your goals, needs, and the specifics of your case.
