Please browse through this website for valuable information regarding bankruptcy in general, as well as more specific information about the three major chapters of bankruptcy.

In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, individuals can obtain a discharge of most debts, keep most property, and get a "FRESH START." Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and Partnerships can stop harassment, lawsuits and judgment enforcement and be liquidated in an orderly fashion.

In a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, individuals or businesses can reorganize assets and liabilities to pay off or reduce debts.

In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, individuals can consolidate debt into one single monthly payment, stop interest on unsecured debt and "catch-up" mortgages and/or car payments.

WARNING TO ARIZONA CITIZENS:

Con artists, including convicted felons and disbarred lawyers, are preying upon innocent citizens suggesting they are able to perform legal services, like preparing bankruptcy or divorce documents.  Many of these legal services are never performed, or done so poorly that the person is left in a worse situation than before.  The Arizona Supreme Court, State Bar of Arizona and U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee are all attempting to prosecute these frauds, but they need your help.  BEWARE: In Arizona, only an attorney, licensed by the Arizona State Bar, can give you legal advice, draft legal documents, or act on your behalf.  Two exceptions to who can draft documents: (1) a real estate salesperson or broker may "fill out, without charge, documents related to sales of real property", and (2) Legal Document Preparer Program. Effective July 1, 2003, all individuals and businesses preparing legal documents, without the supervision of an attorney in good standing with the State Bar of Arizona, must be certified pursuant to Arizona Supreme Court Rule 31 and Arizona Code of Judicial Administration §7-208.  But neither of these groups can give any legal advice, explain your rights or interpret the meaning of any documents that you sign.  A Power of Attorney cannot be used to change these limitations. Please report illegal activity to the State Bar or the Arizona Supreme Court. Who is a licensed Arizona Attorney?  Who is a licensed realtor/broker?  Who is a licensed document preparer? Complaint form for unlicensed document preparers.   Some horror stories about these illegal activities, including consumer credit counselors.
