Types of Debt
Dealing with overwhelming debt can be one of the most stressful and challenging experiences of your life. Whether it’s mounting credit card bills, the threat of foreclosure, or unmanageable personal loans, financial difficulties can feel insurmountable. Bankruptcy offers a powerful tool to help you regain control, providing a legal pathway to discharge or restructure your debts and start anew. At The Law Office of Donald L. Bell, we understand the complexities of bankruptcy law and are here to guide you through the process with care and precision.
The two primary types of consumer bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7, or liquidation bankruptcy, allows you to discharge most unsecured debts quickly for a fresh start. Chapter 13, or reorganization bankruptcy, lets you keep your property while repaying debts over three to five years through a court-approved plan. We work closely with you to determine which option best suits your financial situation and goals.
Beyond bankruptcy, there are other debt relief options available, such as debt settlement, consolidation, and negotiation with creditors. These alternatives can sometimes offer a way to manage debt without going through the bankruptcy process. Our firm takes a comprehensive approach, exploring all potential avenues to alleviate your financial stress. With personalized guidance and a commitment to your financial well-being, we help you navigate these difficult decisions and find the best solution for your future.

Assisting Businesses with Bankruptcy Matters Across Maryland
For small businesses in financial distress, Chapter 11 and Chapter 5 bankruptcy offer structured solutions. Chapter 11, or "reorganization bankruptcy," allows businesses to keep operating while restructuring debts. Chapter 5, tailored for small businesses, streamlines this process, making it more efficient and affordable. Both options help businesses overcome financial challenges and work toward stability while maintaining control of their operations.
