We work hard to provide our clients a fresh financial start and hope for a brighter future.

The attorneys at Martin, Bacon, & Martin, PC will assess your financial situation and help you determine if and what type of bankruptcy is a good option for you. As a consumer in Michigan, you can file for bankruptcy under either:

·                     Chapter 7.  This chapter allows a consumer to wipe out all debts except those which cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and provide an immediate fresh start.  Examples of those debts which cannot be discharged are alimony, child support, recent back taxes, most student loans, recent large purchases, fraudulent debts and debts secured by collateral.

·                     Chapter 13.  This chapter allows a consumer to set up a repayment plan to pay back debts over several years time.  This is designed for individuals who have a regular flow of income and are seeking an adjustment to the repaying of their current debt.

Martin, Bacon, & Martin, PC can guide and protect you through the complicated legal maze of bankruptcy and offer protection from creditors, representation in court and the assurance that your bankruptcy petition is free from error.
