Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William E Carter (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of William E. Carter, LLC
Typically you can retain a vehicle when filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy. You will be obligated to continue making your car payments even after filing the bankruptcy if you want to retain your car. As a word of caution, you do not get the choice of including or excluding something from your bankruptcy. You must divulge all of your assets and debts to the court when filing for bankruptcy protection.

If sheriffs gives me a 5 day notice can I file for emergency bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
It takes me about a month to get all the paperwork ready to file with the bankruptcy court. If you can file an "emergency bankruptcy" and you think that will enable you more time to relocate, then go ahead and do it. An automatic stay pursuant to federal law will be in effect on the moment you file a bankruptcy. This means that no creditor can proceed with an action in State court. The sheriff has already given you a 5 day notice. But I do not know what the notice says. If it says you have 5 days to vacate, then you should vacate. Filing bankruptcy is not something you can just go an do so that you have more time to move. It is a very serious decision for which you need competent legal advice. The law changed back in 2005 so that people who are going to file bankruptcy must first go over their financial circumstances with an approved consumer credit counseling agency, and get a certificate saying that they have done so.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
