The practice is centered on Chapter 7 bankruptcy for individuals. Its materials address qualifying unsecured obligations such as credit-card balances, medical bills and personal loans. They also describe the automatic stay that follows a bankruptcy filing, including its effect on creditor contact and wage garnishments. The firm's FAQ distinguishes those debts from obligations it generally describes as not dischargeable, including student loans, child support and certain tax debts, and explains that borrowers who keep property securing a mortgage or vehicle loan must continue making payments.
