Doyle has been admitted to the United State District Court, Northern District of Ohio, where Bankruptcy cases are heard, for 25 years. His many years of experience as a Bankruptcy Attorney give him the expertise to advise you whether bankruptcy is an option that can be beneficial to you in difficult financial situations.

Financial problems are stressful. Collection calls and garnishments can be embarrassing and financially devastating. Filing for bankruptcy ends the collection calls, lawsuits, wage garnishments and other attempts to collect your debts.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, often referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy," is designed to help individuals and families who are overwhelmed by debt and unable to repay their creditors. This type of bankruptcy allows you to discharge most of your unsecured debts, such as credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans, giving you a fresh financial start.

Every financial situation is unique, and Attorney Michael D. Doyle understands that a one-size-fits-all approach to bankruptcy doesn't work. He takes the time to carefully evaluate your financial circumstances, debts, and assets to determine whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the right solution for you. If it is, he will develop a customized plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Declaring Bankruptcy

There are two types of bankruptcy available to consumers seeking to declare bankruptcy: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

• Often called a straight bankruptcy. Most filers qualify for this option.
• Most debts are discharged in this option, meaning you are no longer personally responsible for the debt. Bankruptcy usually cannot discharge most taxes, student loans, and domestic support obligations.
• Many assets, including homes, vehicles, household goods, jewelry, and retirement savings can be maintained unless they have significant value above an “exemption” amount determined by law. However, if you still have an outstanding loan on your home, vehicle or other asset that you wish to keep, you must continue to make the payments.
• In order to file under Chapter 7, you must have inadequate income to pay for debts after paying your reasonable living expenses. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer Michael D. Doyle, conveniently located in Elyria, OH, can evaluate your situation and tell you if you qualify for this option.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! “Met Atty Doyle for the first time yesterday. Was frightened and shaky bc I thought I was going to have to declare bankruptcy. This morning we talked on the phone and he told me of a better solution but to contact him if I'm still in the same predicament and to keep in touch. Was very friendly and reassuring too. Highly recommend!” - Don

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

• Instead of being immediately discharged, your debts are restructured and paid back over three to five years under a payment plan that you can afford.
• Chapter 13 is an option for people with incomes too high or with assets too valuable to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
• Chapter 13 can often help you to avoid foreclosure.
• You can decide whether to keep your home and vehicle and continue to make payments or to surrender them to stop payments.
• If you have judgment liens or second mortgages, these can often be “stripped off” and converted to unsecured debt.
