Bankruptcy Services

Overwhelming debt harms your financial, physical, and mental health. Although bankruptcy laws provide relief for debtors who can no longer pay their creditors, this relief is often out of reach for those who need it the most. Debtors who cannot afford legal representation and the costs associated with filing bankruptcy will likely fall deeper into debt even while diverting their limited resources from more productive uses to meet their repayment burden.

What Kind of Cases Does WNYLC Handle?

Western New York Law Center provides Chapter 7 bankruptcy services to low-income individuals. Chapter 7 is the most efficient and cost-effective bankruptcy to discharge your debts. Chapter 7 requires that a debtor give up property that exceeds certain limits called ‘exemptions.’ The property then can be sold to satisfy creditors.
