Bilu Law Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorneys in South Florida

We're Helping Clients from Offices in Pompano Beach & Miami

A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is an individual re-organization process created for individuals and married couples that have regular income and are within a certain range of debt. It permits the debtor to reorganize his debt and create a more manageable payment plan to repay a portion of the unsecured debt while potentially paying to maintain a home, car or other asset through a document called a Chapter 13 Plan.

Not everyone is a fit for Chapter 13, and it is important that you speak to an experienced bankruptcy practitioner about filing a Chapter 13 prior to moving forward. The professionals at Bilu Law are here to guide you through this process to help you get the fresh start that you deserve.

  • Special Third-Party Protection: If others share liability with you for "consumer debts," Chapter 13 safeguards their interests as well.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

  • ""His dedication to getting his clients the best outcome is relentless.""
    "I am so honored to leave Ron and his team this great review. I called all over Florida to find a lawyer that would help me with my real estate property issue and no one would even listen to me they just told me, we can not help you. When I first called Bilu Law, I felt they cared about their clients. Johanna scheduled a meeting with Ron right away, and when I spoke to Ron, he was the best because he took the time to listen to my situation and asked all the right questions. The best question he asked was what would I consider a good outcome and after telling him, he made that his North Star. After a few more meetings to understand my situation better, he told me how much it would cost me to have him try to resolve this issue with the best outcome and it was very reasonable. Among his profession, I would consider Ron to be among the best. His dedication to getting his clients the best outcome is relentless. I will refer him to all my friends and family and consider him a dear friend."

  • ""I highly recommend this office to deliver and satisfactorily settle your legal matters.""
    "Bilu Law firm has advised and completed the paperwork on creating a Trust and I am satisfied with how thorough and professional Andrea and Annabella were in executing the task. Today, I'd like to thank the team of Nicholas and Andrea for accepting another case and delivering as promised, in a relatively short period of time and again, a satisfactory outcome. I want to especially thank Andrea for the knowledgeable and professional representation she exhibited as she guided me through the process. In addition, I express my appreciation for other members of your staff. ALL calls were passed on and one could consistently expect a quick response. There is a warmth from the front door, by staff to the discussion of business at hand. Wait time was never more than 3-5 minutes at each office visit. The advent of Covid- 19 and the societal interruptions it created, did nothing to deter the level of service offered by this firm. I highly recommend this office to deliver and satisfactorily settle your legal matters."

Qualifying for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: What You Need to Know

Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers a distinct avenue for gradually repaying a portion of your debts over a predetermined timeframe. However, eligibility isn't a blanket provision for everyone facing debt challenges. Before embarking on Chapter 13, meeting specific criteria is crucial to obtaining court approval for your repayment plan.

Essential requirements for filing Chapter 13:

  • Individual Status: Chapter 13 is designed for individuals and married couples rather than businesses. However, if you operate as a sole proprietor, your business's financial aspects may be integrated into the process.
  • Tax Compliance: Staying current with your tax filings is imperative. Falling behind on tax obligations could impact your eligibility.
  • Manageable Debt: The ceiling for debt fluctuates periodically. It's advisable to consult a knowledgeable Chapter 13 attorney to confirm your eligibility. As of 2023, the combined total of secured and unsecured debts should not exceed $2,750,000 to qualify for Chapter 13.
  • Steady Income: Demonstrating sufficient income to meet the required monthly payment is essential.
