Bankruptcy Overview

Experienced Bankruptcy Attorney

Focusing on Providing Guidance Through the Bankruptcy Process

Facing a financial crisis is never easy. It is important to know that you have options for regaining control of your finances. At the Medford, New Jersey, office of Gary F. Woodend & Associates, attorney Gary Woodend personally handles all of our clients' bankruptcy needs. He will meet with you and go over your financial situation in great detail. We will discuss the alternatives available to you, including the various forms of bankruptcy. In the end, he will make a recommendation.

Types of Bankruptcy

Some of the common types of bankruptcy are:

  • Chapter 7 : A form of personal or consumer bankruptcy that is also known as a "fresh start" as it allows qualifying individuals to have most of their unsecured debt discharged
  • Chapter 13 : Another form of personal or consumer bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 is a repayment plan that allows you to have your debt reorganized in order for you to pay off what you owe in amounts that you can afford.
  • Chapter 11 : If you own a business, and the business is facing bankruptcy, a Chapter 11 is the proper type of bankruptcy to file as it will allow you to continue to operate your business while paying off your debts.

Bankruptcy Alternatives

Mr. Woodend has been an active bankruptcy lawyer for approximately 20 years. In this time, he has discovered that hardworking people hardly ever want to file for bankruptcy. That is usually the last thing that they want to do, however, they have no one to turn to for independent advice.

  • If they go to see a bankruptcy attorney, they will most likely end up filing for bankruptcy. If they go to see a mortgage lender, they will most likely end up refinancing their house.
  • If they go to see a credit counselor, they will most likely end up in some sort of a repayment program. That is only natural. This is not necessarily a conflict of interest, but the client should be made aware of alternatives besides bankruptcy before making the big decision to actually file.

We are looking forward to helping you through this process. You may either call our office directly at 609-654-5489 or Toll Free at 888-336-8417, or use e-mail to set up an appointment.
