Bankruptcy Protection for Corporations and Individuals in Florida
At the law firm of Lanigan & Lanigan, PL, our lawyers help corporations and individuals facing overwhelming amounts of debt find an effective solution through filing bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which is also referred to as a liquidation bankruptcy, unsecured debt may be discharged by an individual debtor in order to obtain a fresh start financially. This can be a quick and helpful option for people looking to get out from under the burden of debt.
The types of unsecured debt that may be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy include credit card debt, medical bills and other debts where there is no tangible property or product attached to the debt.
