AWD LAW is Northern Arizona’s bankruptcy law firm. Our bankruptcy attorneys handle cases across Northern Arizona. We are here to help Arizona residents protect both their assets and their future.

AWD LAW focuses on Chapter 7 bankruptcies, which can provide debt relief for individuals and married couples in as little as four months.

‍There are strict rules for who qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, based upon your income and property you own. Arizona provides for numerous personal and real property exemptions, property that individuals and married couples may retain through bankruptcy. In most cases, you will not lose your home, a primary vehicle, or personal property. The attorneys at AWD LAW are knowledgeable about the rules for exempt property and the requirements for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and will be able to determine very quickly if you qualify.

‍If you do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 may be another option to discharge your debt. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must commit to making monthly payments on your debts for either three or five years through a Chapter 13 Plan.

‍While there are benefits to discharging your debt in bankruptcy, there are various important factors to weigh before making your decision to file. One of these factors to consider is that bankruptcy has a negative impact on your credit rating. While many individuals and married couples who have filed for bankruptcy are able to rebuild their credit after bankruptcy, you will need to count on living without credit for a period after filing.

AWD LAW will help you assess all your options and determine the right path for you and your family. If you decide that filing for bankruptcy is the best choice, we are here to assist you through the entire process. Schedule a consultation to discuss your legal needs today.
