Denver Bankruptcy Lawyers for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is appropriate for people whose circumstances have changed such that they do not have the income to meet normal living expenses and repay their debt. A chapter 7 case is generally the quickest and cleanest form of bankruptcy, sometimes called the liquidation Bankruptcy. With some exceptions a Chapter 7 discharge leaves an individual debt free. Our attorneys will discuss if this is the best option for you.
