Personal Bankruptcy

With the right attorneys behind you, there’s light at the end of a dark financial tunnel. Our attorneys will work creatively and aggressively on your side, fiercely protecting your assets. 

A full-service bankruptcy firm, Schafer and Weiner represents individuals in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. Many clients are owners with large business-related guaranties who often face major litigation brought by trustees and creditors. 

You won’t find a law firm that’s more committed to your interests.  We regularly obtain discharges and prevail in tough litigation.  For example, we’ve:

  • Obtained a full discharge of all debts for a Chapter 7 debtor with assets of approximately $20,000 and liabilities of approximately $800,000, including more than $600,000 of IRS tax debt.
  • Achieved discharge of all debts for a Chapter 7 debtor with assets of approximately $600,000 and liabilities of approximately $3.3 million, and successfully defended an action to exempt $1 million of debt from discharge.
  • Represented a debtor against a nondischargable judgment of $1.7 million in federal court. Defended against collection actions and negotiated settlement which provided for turnover of real property interests in which debtor had no equity. 

Today’s decisions make tomorrow’s future.
