Chapter 7 Personal Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates credit card debt, medical bills, and other unsecured debts—usually in 3-4 months. Most importantly, Ohio’s generous exemptions mean the majority of our clients keep their home, car, and personal belongings while getting complete debt relief.
- Keep your home: Ohio homestead exemptions protect up to $145,425 in home equity (2024)
- Keep your car: Vehicle exemptions protect up to $4,000 in value
- Stop foreclosure immediately: The automatic stay halts collection actions
- No income required: Perfect for those unemployed or underemployed

- Ongoing support: We don't abandon you after your case closes
- Credit rebuilding guidance: Practical steps to improve your credit score
- Long-term success: Set yourself up for a stable financial future
