How we help Egg Harbor Township residents

Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Wipe out credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. Most cases close in 90 to 120 days. Affordable pricing with flexible payment plans.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Behind on your mortgage or your car payment? Chapter 13 lets you catch up over a 3 to 5 year court-approved plan while keeping your home and car. Fees depend on your case, and you can get started for as little as $99.

Foreclosure defense. If a foreclosure complaint has been filed against your Atlantic County home, filing bankruptcy stops the sheriff sale and gives you breathing room to restructure.

Student loan discharge. Recent legal changes have made it possible to discharge federal and private student loans through bankruptcy in ways that were not available even a few years ago.

Subchapter V (small business reorganization). A faster, lower-cost alternative to traditional Chapter 11 for shore-area small business owners who need to restructure debt and keep operating.

• Free credit rebuild course. Every case includes “7 Steps to a 720 Credit Score,” a bonus course with a step-by-step plan aimed at a 720 score.
