Nevada Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney
In most instances, it is a good idea to be as pro-active as possible when pursuing bankruptcy. In the past, clients have wiped out their 401k and other accounts in order to stay afloat, only to end up filing for bankruptcy at a later date. If they had filed for bankruptcy earlier, they could have achieved a fresh start without losing their life savings.
Timing is important. If filing for Chapter 7 — which will involve reviewing your past six months of income — it may make sense to file later if you have just lost a job. That will allow for a higher percentage of the six month period to show no or low income, increasing the likelihood that you will qualify for this no-payment form of bankruptcy.
At the Law Offices of Rodney K. Okano in Las Vegas, we have handled more than 1,000 bankruptcy cases for clients in southern Nevada. We can handle your bankruptcy case from A to Z, including all filings, hearings and paperwork.
How Long Does Bankruptcy Take?
If you are filing for Chapter 7, the process usually lasts around 100 days. Chapter 13 bankruptcies — which involve a payment plan — usually last three to five years. Both forms of bankruptcy will provide immediate relief from creditor harassment and threats of wage garnishment.
