Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring Services in Las Vegas
If you’re dealing with money problems—either personally or for your business—it’s important to have the right legal help on your side. At Williams Starbuck, our job is to give you clear, straightforward advice that actually makes sense for your situation.
We’ve been doing this for years and have helped many people turn things around. Whether you’re looking to reorganize your debt or need to file for bankruptcy, we’re here to walk you through each step.
What Is Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy Law?
Financial restructuring is all about reorganizing your finances to avoid bankruptcy. This might include renegotiating debt, lowering what you owe, and finding better ways to manage payments. The goal is to get back on track financially without needing to file for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy law, on the other hand, helps people or businesses get rid of or pay off their debts with the protection of the court. There are different types of bankruptcy, including:
- Chapter 7: This is often called liquidation. It allows individuals to wipe out most unsecured debts, like credit card bills, medical expenses, and personal loans.
- Chapter 11: Mostly for businesses, this lets them reorganize their debts and keep running while they work out a new financial plan.
- Chapter 13: For individuals with a steady income, this creates a repayment plan over three to five years to pay off debts.
Knowing which option fits your situation is important for getting the right financial relief.
Going Through the Bankruptcy Process in Las Vegas
Filing for bankruptcy in Las Vegas can seem overwhelming, but with the right attorney, the process becomes much easier to handle. Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect:
Meeting with Your Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy Attorney in Las Vegas
The first thing you’ll do is sit down with one of our experienced attorneys to talk about your financial situation. We’ll go over your debts, assets, and income to figure out which type of bankruptcy is best for you.
Filing the Petition
After deciding which type of bankruptcy to file for, we’ll help you submit all the necessary paperwork to the court. This includes financial documents that list your debts, assets, and income.
Automatic Stay
Once you file, an automatic stay kicks in. This means creditors can’t take further actions like garnishing your wages or suing you.
341 Meeting of Creditors
After filing, you’ll have to attend a 341 meeting. This is where creditors can ask questions about your financial situation, but don’t worry—our attorneys will be there to support you and protect your interests.
Discharge or Repayment Plan
Depending on the type of bankruptcy you file, your debts may be completely wiped out (Chapter 7), or you’ll enter into a plan to repay what you owe over time (Chapter 13). If you file for Chapter 11, you’ll start working on restructuring your business’s debt.
