At Affordable Bankruptcy, we work closely with our Missouri clients to provide useful advice that reflects the specifics of your situation. Unless you've filed for Chapter 13 twice recently, just about everyone stands to benefit right away from the automatic stay. Once your bankruptcy case is filed, your creditors have to stop collection activities: mortgage foreclosure, car repossession, wage garnishment, lawsuits or even phone calls.

But that's only one part of the picture. Our attorneys take a close look at your debts, assets, income and expenses. We see which of your debts can't be discharged in bankruptcy. We determine whether you might need to turn assets over to a bankruptcy trustee. We calculate whether you're eligible for Chapter 7. We'll advise you if you'll be better off in Chapter 13 anyway. We'll even help you get started toward rebuilding your credit.

If bankruptcy won't do you much good — or any good at all — we'll let you know immediately. If you stand to benefit from a bankruptcy case, we'll work with you at every step of the process to answer your questions, avoid mistakes, and help you get the most out of your right to bankruptcy relief.
