Filing for bankruptcy can protect you if you are financially strained, but it can also lead to many legal repercussions. To fully understand what type of bankruptcy is appropriate for your situation and what it means for your finances, talk to an attorney at the Coye Law Firm. Many disputes over property and debt need immediate intervention to prevent further damage to a consumer's credit and financial state. Our offices in Clermont, Orlando, Kissimmee, or Melbourne can take on these cases and explain your options in bankruptcy.

Forms of Bankruptcy

There are three types of bankruptcy commonly filed. These are:

• Chapter 7, in which an individual's assets are liquidated
• Chapter 13, in which an individual can personally organize repayment
• Chapter 11, in which businesses can organize their repayment
  

Each category is designed to help consumers or businesses that find themselves in certain financial situations. After you read a general overview of each type, call the Coye Law Firm to speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney who can answer your questions and begin the process of filing for bankruptcy.
