The Law Office of Hector M. Roman, P.C. is an experienced Chapter 7 Bankruptcy firm and we can help you keep your assets and eliminate your debt.
In most cases, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can quickly eliminate your unsecured debt. Chapter 7 is designed to give a debtor overwhelmed by debt, a fresh start by “discharging” or completely eliminating their debt. In most Chapter 7 cases, the debtor has substantial credit card debt, medical bills, and other unsecured debt, and have very few assets. In the vast majority of cases, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is able to completely eliminate all of these debts.
Eliminate Debt
Once your case is filed, your creditors are “automatically stayed” from starting or continuing any collection action against you, meaning all harassing phone calls and correspondence you probably receive on a daily basis must stop immediately to afford you breathing space from your creditors.

Credit cards
Medical bills
Utility bills
