Our current bankruptcy laws can be traced back to the biblical era. They have been an integral part of our financial system since the enactment of our Federal Constitution in 1788. Bankruptcy is a process created by federal law that provides relief for debtors, who can either eliminate their debts or repay their debts. The Bankruptcy Code is divided into “chapters” for the various types of bankruptcies. A Chapter 7 “straight bankruptcy” is the process by which individual debtors are rid of many of their debts. A Chapter 13 “reorganization” is the process by which an individual or a sole-proprietor business prepares a plan for repayment of creditors. Bankruptcy is also intended to protect creditors’ interests by either dividing a debtor’s assets for repayment or creating a plan of repayment. Mr. Detzky has been a bankruptcy lawyer for nearly 40 years. In addition, he served as a member of the private panel of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustees administered by the U.S. Department of Justice for fifteen years. His unique experience as both a bankruptcy lawyer and former bankruptcy trustee enables him to analyze your situation from both the perspective of a seasoned bankruptcy practitioner with the trained eye of a long-serving trustee, the same individual who you will see in court and who will be evaluating your case. Mr. Detzky will guide you through the process of discerning which type of bankruptcy filing is most advantageous for you. His four decades of bankruptcy law experience has given him keen insight about how creditors arrive at decisions – which will serve as an invaluable tool for you.
