If you're struggling with debt, creditor calls, or missed payments, bankruptcy might be a viable path to financial relief. But taking that first step shouldn't add more stress to your life—especially if getting to an attorney’s office or courtroom feels overwhelming.

Bankruptcy Chapters Available for Remote Filing

At David Smith Law, our team handles a wide range of bankruptcy cases, all of which can be filed and managed remotely.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 allows eligible individuals to eliminate unsecured debts such as credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans. It is often the fastest way to get a financial reset. Our Chapter 7 services begin at $499, and we handle the entire process electronically.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

If you have steady income but are behind on payments, Chapter 13 allows you to set up a manageable repayment plan over three to five years. You may be able to keep your home and other important assets. Our firm offers options that may include $0 down to begin.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 helps businesses restructure debt while continuing operations. This option is well-suited for companies that want to remain open during the repayment process. All planning and documentation can be completed remotely.

Subchapter 5 Bankruptcy

Designed specifically for small business owners, Subchapter 5 under the Small Business Reorganization Act provides an efficient and affordable path to debt relief. It’s a strong option for businesses facing economic pressure, including those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
