Successfully serving individuals, families and small businesses of Flint

The Flint Bankruptcy Law Office of George E. Jacobs & Associates is a debt-relief agency helping individuals, families and small businesses file for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code in the city of Flint and the counties of Genesee, Livingston, Lapeer and Shiawassee.

We will analyze your unique circumstances and help you determine which of the two principal forms of bankruptcy filing is in your best interests:

  • Chapter 7 – This type of bankruptcy, known as a liquidation, helps debtors get a clean slate when it comes to many of their debts. But it also requires the sale of your assets to raise funds to pay back creditors. Some property is exempt from sale, such as a modest vehicle and a certain amount of equity in a home. Chapter 7 may be the best fit for debtors with moderate incomes and few assets who want a fresh start.
  • Chapter 13 — Also known as a wage earner’s plan, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows debtors to retain all of their valuable property while they partially pay down their debts according to a court-approved plan over the course of three to five years. No creditor approval of the plan is needed. This bankruptcy path can be a good choice for steady wage earners who just need time to catch up on their mortgage arrears or other overdue debt.

Whichever route you take, bankruptcy is a complex process with considerable risks for the uninformed. Our job as your counsel is to ensure you are aware of all your options for resolving your debt burden and to guide you from filing through to completion of your case.
