Bankruptcy
Southern Puerto Rico has faced significant economic hardship over the years — from the aftermath of Hurricane Maria to ongoing fiscal pressures felt by families across the region. If debt has become overwhelming, bankruptcy is not a sign of failure. It is a federal legal process designed to give individuals and businesses a legitimate way to reset and rebuild.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy — Chapter 7 allows eligible individuals to discharge most unsecured debts, including credit card balances and medical bills, typically within a few months. Our attorneys help you determine eligibility through the means test, identify every available exemption, and guide you through the process so you can move on with a clean slate.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy — If you have steady income and want to keep your home or other assets while catching up on debts, Chapter 13 provides a structured repayment plan that works on your terms. We work with you to build a plan that fits your budget, halts foreclosure, and gives you the stability needed to get back on solid financial ground.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy — For businesses and individuals with more complex debt situations, Chapter 11 offers the tools to reorganize obligations, protect ongoing operations, and chart a sustainable path forward without shutting down entirely.
