Fees
McCollum at Law offers a $100 fee consultation where we will explain the different types of bankruptcy protection available to you and will help you to decide which would work best in your particular situation. "Debt reorganization" is a Chapter 13 bankruptcy which allows you to consolidate your bills, and requires your creditors to allow you more time to pay them back. This procedure is an alternative to Chapter 7 "straight" bankruptcy, which will liquidate many of your unsecured debts and allow for a fresh start.
With a Chapter 13, we can help you with a plan which will take into account your monthly income and expenses and consolidate most of your bills into one affordable monthly payment. An "automatic stay" goes into effect when you file either type of bankruptcy, which will protect you from harassment and collection action by your creditors. If you retain McCollum at Law, we will file all of the necessary documents for you, and we can include your attorney’s fees in the Chapter 13 Plan.
