Sonoma County Bankruptcy Attorney 
Serving Clients in Santa Rosa, California and throughout the North Bay
Too often bankruptcy is portrayed as a devastating event in a person's life. Our firm believes in a positive outlook; the positives may often outweigh the negatives in a typical bankruptcy.
Both Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy give you a fresh start. Part of what makes America one of the greatest entrepreneurial nations in the world is that people can take risks and get second chances. We can get knocked down by divorce, job loss, an accident or illness, or perhaps a failed business enterprise, and dust ourselves off, making our lives better after bankruptcy. You do not need to wait.
The Positive Effects of Bankruptcy
- Creditors stop harassing you. By law, creditors and bill collectors must stop calling, writing, and sending bills or dunning letters. If they don't, they can be sued for monetary damages.
- If your paycheck is being garnished, this will stop.
- Eligible debt is discharged or reorganized, depending on which type of bankruptcy you qualify for.

Get the Fresh Start You're Looking For
People hesitate to file for bankruptcy and wait for so long, saddled under an overwhelming amount of debt that can never be paid back. Most people that file for bankruptcy are behind on their payments or have defaulted on credit cards or loans, owing large sums to creditors; all of it showing up on credit reports.
After bankruptcy, the defaults and late payments are removed from the credit reports and listed under your bankruptcy. Many people find they're able to get mortgages and credit soon after bankruptcy. Best of all, they're able to handle debt better than ever, resulting in improved credit scores.
