Bankruptcy (Debtor/Creditor)

Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Attorney

Despite the 2005 changes in federal bankruptcy law, many people can still obtain debt relief through personal bankruptcy. If you are having trouble meeting your financial obligations, the attorneys of Henry & Beaver, LLP, can fully advise you of your legal options. Through bankruptcy, you may be able to avoid foreclosure, save your car and escape from crushing debt.

We also represent the interests of lenders and other creditors in pre-bankruptcy workouts and Bankruptcy Court proceedings.

Contact our offices today via email or call us at 717-274-3644 to arrange an initial Free consultation. We represent debtors and creditors throughout central Pennsylvania, including those in Lebanon, Lancaster, Schuylkill, Berks, and Dauphin counties.

Personal Bankruptcy

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy — Qualifying consumers can erase credit card balances, medical bills and other unsecured debts through Chapter 7 liquidation. With exemptions for retirement savings, home equity and most possessions, the majority of filers will not lose any assets.
  • Chapter 12 Bankruptcy —Family farmers facing bankruptcy should contact our firm to explore ways to reorganize their debts and hold on to their farms.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy — If your income is too high to qualify for Chapter 7, or if your home is in danger of foreclosure, Chapter 13 reorganization can provide relief from creditors while you repay a portion of the debt over 3 to 5 years. Foreclosure, repossession and harassing phone calls will stop as soon as you file.

We can fully explain the law and the likely outcome of your bankruptcy choice.

Due to the comprehensive nature of our practice and depth of our legal experience in bankruptcy law, local lawyers routinely consult with our firm, or refer complex cases to us, such as those arising from divorce.
