Why Do I Need a Lawyer?
Bankruptcy proceedings can be very complex. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will bundle all of your debts into a regular payment plan that will last a specific period of time. In order to proceed with a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will be required to establish that you are qualified to make your proposed payments by submitting a detailed budget to the court. The type of information needed in this budget is exacting, and a bankruptcy attorney from Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC is experienced in compiling this documentation in the format the courts prefer. If you try and begin this process on your own, your request may be denied by the court, which will cost you more time and money.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a way to reorganize your debt similar to loan consolidation. You will need to categorize your debts and create a payment plan to follow over the course of 3-5 years. This is not something you should do alone. Many people make the mistake of trying to speed up the bankruptcy process thinking that it is better to get it over with. However, the only thing that this does is to set you up for more financial distress. The court may see that your proposed plan is unreasonable and reject your proceeding entirely. Or worse, you may begin payments and then find that they are unsustainable, so you wind up worse than where you began. An experienced bankruptcy attorney from Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC will work closely with you in your proceeding to prevent these mistakes and create a payment plan that will work for you long-term. If you are experiencing financial distress, call us today to see if a bankruptcy proceeding in Northern Kentucky may be a fit for your needs.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding is the best option for individuals who can make regular, affordable debt payments. All debts are generally rolled into a single payment that can be automatically drafted from your paycheck for convenience. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be a good option for you if:
- You have high-interest loans or credit cards you cannot keep up with
- You owe significant back-taxes
- You have fallen behind on car payments
- You have fallen behind on mortgage payments, and may be in the process of foreclosure

Once you take a brief Credit Counseling course (in-person or online), we can file your petition for bankruptcy.
Upon filing, you will be immediately protected by the Bankruptcy Code, which stops the harassing calls and letters from creditors. Early in the process, we will go to court for a hearing, where you will meet with the trustee who will handle your case. The trustee will ask you questions about your bankruptcy petition and will verify that the details you provided are accurate. After your hearing, you can move forward with your repayment plan. Each step of the way, your bankruptcy attorney from Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC will be available to support you, answer questions, and protect your rights.
