Bankruptcy Law

Sometimes an unexpected event can send individuals or families down a path toward financial hardship. Whether it's a job loss, medical emergency, or mounting debt, Attorney Ellis can help you understand your options and find a path toward financial relief.

Attorney Ellis handles bankruptcy matters in Flint, Detroit, and Bay City, Michigan, and offers experienced counsel in both major types of consumer bankruptcy:

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy — Often referred to as "liquidation" bankruptcy, Chapter 7 can eliminate most unsecured debts such as credit cards and medical bills, giving you a fresh financial start.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy — A reorganization plan that allows you to keep your property while repaying debts over a 3-to-5-year period, often at reduced amounts.

During your free consultation, Attorney Ellis will review your financial situation and advise you on which chapter best fits your needs.
