Areas of Practice

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, commonly known as "straight" bankruptcy, allows clients to discharge (eliminate) their unsecured debts such as medical bills, credit card debts, payday loans, and judgments. In a typical Chapter 7 case, our clients keep all their assets, including their homes, vehicles, and retirement accounts. By removing the financial burden of unsecured debts, clients can now provide for their families and afford their home and vehicle loan payments more comfortably.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 bankruptcy provides a protective environment for businesses, shielding them from creditors while allowing them to reorganize and develop a plan to repay debts without disrupting ongoing operations. This option is most suitable for businesses or individuals with substantial assets and debts.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy, known as the "wage earner's plan," is designed for those with a steady income but facing difficulties in meeting debt payments. It is commonly used to halt foreclosures, tax levies, and garnishments. Chapter 13 enables clients to lower their debt payments, catch up on overdue mortgage payments, and eliminate some unsecured debt, all while retaining their assets.

  • "Michael put me at ease from the moment we met. I was very nervous and ashamed of having to file bankruptcy. Michael never made me feel insignificant or belittled me. He encouraged me and helped me come to terms that this was the only viable option for me. His entire staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and genuine."

  • "If you are looking for a law firm that truly cares about you, Schoenbohm Law is the law firm we highly recommend. From the moment we stepped in their office we were treated with the utmost respect. Every question, every concern, was always very well explained to us. There never was a time when we felt as if we didn't know what was going on. Even when we caused a little bump in the road, they immediately went over & above to make sure everything worked out wonderful for us. Anyone would truly be pleased in what Schoenbohm Law can offer for you. Thank you again for your excellent care of us."

  • "Very good lawyer for his practices, would recommend to anyone needing his services, also very good and easy to work with, good source of legal information and help in filing bankruptcy explains procedures very well and other options."

  • "I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone who is in need of help. My husband and I were referred to Schoenbohm by another attorney who is a friend of ours but works in a different area of law. To say the least, we couldn't have found a better law firm to assist us. From the first day we met and discussed our issues, Schoenbohm Law made us feel welcome and not isolated. Our attorney took the time to walk us through each and every step of the process. More importantly he kept an open communication door for us, so any questions we had or additional issues that came up, we could either email or call him and his turn around time was always less than 24 hours. He helped make this extremely hard time in our lives easier and less stressful. Again, I would definitely recommend them to anyone."
