Don't Let Debt Destroy What You've Worked So Hard to Build
When you've dedicated your time, energy, and financial support to building a business, it can be devastating when financial hardship hits. If you're considering closing up shop and moving on in the face of crippling debt, I am here to show you that there is another path forward. Bankruptcy could be the solution your business needs to get back on track.
As your attorney, I'll be here to help you understand the intricacies of Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidation and usually allows filers to keep most of their inventory. In contrast, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires that filers reorganize their debts in a repayment plan. This form of bankruptcy is typically reserved for individuals, but if you are a sole proprietor, you may be able to file for Chapter 13.
Chapter 11 is a form of bankruptcy specifically focused on helping businesses stay afloat. If you file for Chapter 11, you'll have the opportunity to continue operating your business while putting together a reorganization plan to pay back your business's debts. Chapter 11 bankruptcy can give you an incredibly valuable resource: time. Filing will temporarily halt collections against your business and give you the time needed to formulate a financial strategy.
In addition to representing debtors and creditors in business and individual bankruptcy, I handle cases involving foreclosure defense, real estate litigation, assignments for benefit of creditors, federal court litigation, and more. Put experienced counsel on your side. From my office in Tierra Verde, Florida near St. Petersburg, I serve clients in the surrounding areas of Tampa, Orlando, Ft. Myers, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and throughout the state of Florida.
