Law Office of Jason Cline
What types of bankruptcy do you handle?
We focus on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy for individuals and families in Albuquerque and surrounding areas. We’ll help you determine which type is right for your financial situation.
What’s the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates most unsecured debt and is typically faster, while Chapter 13 allows you to restructure debt into a manageable repayment plan over 3–5 years. Attorney Jason Cline can help you choose the best path forward.
Am I eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
To qualify for Chapter 7, you must pass a means test based on your income and financial situation. We can help you evaluate eligibility during your consultation at our Albuquerque law office.
How long does the bankruptcy process take?
Chapter 7 cases typically take around 3 to 4 months, while Chapter 13 can last 3 to 5 years, depending on your repayment plan. Jason Cline provides guidance every step of the way.
Will filing for bankruptcy stop creditor harassment?
Yes. Once you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect that legally stops collection calls, wage garnishments, and lawsuits. We’ll help you file quickly to get immediate relief.
Can I keep my house or car if I file for bankruptcy?
In many cases, yes. New Mexico bankruptcy exemptions may allow you to retain key assets like your home or vehicle, depending on your equity and the chapter you file. We’ll explain all options during your case review.
How much does it cost to file for bankruptcy?
