Sometimes bad things happen to good people. If you are searching our site it is probably because you have come into some financial hardship. In my experience, bankruptcy is often the result of an unforeseen expense or job loss. The Jupiter bankruptcy attorney, Leslie Burgk, is here to help you get back on your feet and moving in the right direction. I would estimate that over 90% of the people who come into our bankruptcy law office in Stuart, FL are due to the housing market. Our firm also handles foreclosure defense. We are able to discuss your foreclosure matter both from the perspective of defending the foreclosure in state court in Martin and Palm Beach county as well as in bankruptcy court.

While filing for bankruptcy is not the solution for everyone, it is an avenue that should be explored, especially if you have debt that you simply cannot repay; you are being harassed by creditor calls; your wages and bank account are being garnished, or a lawsuit has been filed against you. We developed this website for the residents of Jupiter and Tequesta to gain a better understanding of what bankruptcy is, why people file bankruptcy, and how to get the help you need with your debts. The Tequesta – Jupiter law office of Leslie Burgk is here to help explain the different options you have available to you.

In 2009 there were over 95,000 bankruptcy petitions filed in the state of Florida. Of those the majority were filed under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is referred to as a liquidation bankruptcy, while a Chapter 13 is referred to as reorganization bankruptcy. There are certain guidelines that a person who is filing for protection must meet. Not everyone is eligible for bankruptcy.
