What does a Bankruptcy Lawyer do?
A bankruptcy lawyer helps individuals and businesses get relief from debt through Chapter 7, Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Filing triggers the automatic stay, which stops foreclosure, wage garnishment, lawsuits and collection calls, while exemptions protect property like your home, car and retirement accounts.
