There are steps, processes, and filing fees you have to adhere to before filing your claim and declaring bankruptcy. A trusted bankruptcy attorney can help you along the way to ensure the best possible results during the bankruptcy process.

When filing for bankruptcy, there are different types of filing. If you are an individual, we will be talking to you mostly about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. If you are a corporation going out of existence, we would be discussing a Chapter 7. Corporations that wish to maintain the business and not close may file Chapter 11 for debt relief.
Every situation and case is different. A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 for you could mean something very different from stories you have heard from relatives and friends. At Cibik Law, we avoid telephone appointments, as the analysis needed is detailed and involved and must be looked at in the entire scheme of things. The decision about what will happen depends on your marital status, income and expenses, household size, assets and equity in assets, how the assets are held and types of debt and when they were incurred.
Do not listen to those creditors who tell you the laws changed, and you cannot file. Do not listen to creditors who tell you that you will never get credit again or that you will lose everything if you file bankruptcy. These are collection practices and are usually false. Do not listen to people you know about what will happen as their situation is different from your situation. Do not think that you make too much or that you have assets you will lose. Every bankruptcy is different, so come talk to our professional, expert bankruptcy lawyers to get the full picture of how bankruptcy might work for you.
Bankruptcy protections and exemptions are powerful, and in Pennsylvania, married couples have the additional option of electing state exemptions protecting marital assets when the debt is just the debt of one of the spouses.
There are many misconceptions about bankruptcy – it is not the end of your financial life, but rather a new beginning. It is possible to file for bankruptcy and come out stronger. Ignoring your debts and collectors won’t work forever, so visit us at Cibik Law to discuss your options. We will create a strategy that works for your unique situation, and we offer consultations with no pressure to file for bankruptcy if it is not the best choice for you.

David R.
If you, unfortunately, find yourself needing a bankruptcy attorney don't hesitate in hiring Cibik. He makes the daunting process easier than you would anticipate. He's thorough, professional, and easy-going. It's such a stressful time. You don't need worrying if all the T's are crossed and I's dotted. His staff is wonderful! I have recommended him to others in this situation some have listened and they were pleased. Someone else I know of spent the same amount of money in acquiring a bankruptcy lawyer but he fell short of what he promised and left his client doing much of the work. My 5-star rating is from personal experience.
