Little can be more stressful than debt overload. When you cannot make ends meet, when creditors and collection agencies are hounding you, when your sanity and health suffer from worry, sleepless nights, and constant distress, you need help. That help should come from a legal professional who understands what you are going through, who does not pass judgment, and who has the tools and ability to give you the financial relief you need.
Thousands of people go through bankruptcy every year due to various reasons. At Joseph L. Grima & Associates P.C., we have represented many of them in and around Macomb, Wayne, St. Clair, & Sanilac counties.
Our firm has been serving clients in bankruptcy and debt relief options since 1991. Our founding attorney, Joseph Grima, has practiced bankruptcy law exclusively throughout those decades. We have successfully handled over 10,000 consumer bankruptcy cases. Despite our high volume, we are not a “bankruptcy mill.” Our mission is not just to clear your debts but to put you in financial control once your bankruptcy case ends.

A:
Bankruptcy is a legal right provided under the U.S. Constitution that allows individuals who cannot repay their debts to either
A:
There are four (4) types of bankruptcies, each of which is called a “Chapter”:
A:
In order to qualify for Chapter 7, you must prove that you are unable (as opposed to being unwilling) to repay your debts. In other word, you do not have enough money left over at the end of the month to meet reasonable and necessary living expenses and at the same time repay your debts.
In addition, you may qualify for Chapter 7 in the respect that you do not have enough money to be able to both live and repay your debts, but elect not to file Chapter 7 because you may then lose assets to your creditors. Under Chapter 7 you are only able to protect certain assets needed for a fresh start. For example, an individual filing alone can protect up to $25,150 of equity in real estate. If, however, said individual has more than $25,150 of equity, then the bankruptcy trustee can take the house, sell it, pay off any money owed on it, give the debtor a check for $25,150 and the rest goes to creditors.
In such an example, the debtor may not want to file for Chapter 7, even though he qualifies.
Chapter 13’s are filed by debtors for any number of reasons:
Grosse Pointe, St Clair Shores, Roseville, Eastpointe, Harper Woods, Harrison Township, Macomb Township, Algonac, Chesterfield, Sterling Heights, New Baltimore MI, and surrounding areas.
