  • Ending Creditor Harassment

What to Expect from the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Process

Unlike Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is executed over three to five years, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process can be completed in a matter of 4-6 months. This includes participating in a pre-bankruptcy credit counseling course, filling out all of the necessary paperwork, filing your petition with the court, and attending the "creditors meeting". Once your bankruptcy has been resolved, you will be legally absolved of the obligation to repay most, if not all, of your debt.

As your financial stability is on the line, I understand how urgent this process may be for you. That is why I am available to meet with you in the evening or on the weekend, in addition to regular business hours. I am focused on making this experience as convenient and painless as possible for you.

    John and Linda

  • You made a difficult experience so much easier.

    “Back a few years ago, you helped me through a bankruptcy. I still tell people how you made a difficult experience so much easier, with your clarity, support, and friendly approach to the law. I'm still very appreciative for all your help – it really helped to pull me out of a difficult place and put my life back on track.”

    Eric

  • Mr. Hensel walked me through every step.

    “I would highly recommend the Hensel Law Office!! Mr. Hensel walked me through every step, got my garnishments stopped very quickly (even got garnished wages returned to me!) and told me what to expect along the way. He answered all of my questions in a very timely manner- no matter what time I sent an email or gave him a phone call. Also, I felt his price was very reasonable compared to some of the other places that I called. Mr. Hensel answered plenty of questions that I had before I even became a client.”

    Carl

  • Sincerest thanks for all of your help in affording me what I consider a real "fresh start."

    “I wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for all of your help in affording me what I consider a real "fresh start". My divorce was unfortunate but definitely a needed change for the better. However, the financial side of things still seemed to keep that past linked, which makes this an enormous weight lifted. I just can't believe the impact it's made on my outlook with...everything.I will be sure to keep your business cards handy to distribute along with highly favorable words of recommendation should the needs arise.Thank you again for your time and professional guidance.”
