Boca Raton Bankruptcy & Debt FAQs
Clear answers to common bankruptcy and debt questions from Boca Raton individuals, homeowners, professionals, and business owners.
Do you serve Boca Raton bankruptcy clients?
Yes. The Law Office of Adam I. Skolnik, P.A. serves Boca Raton clients in bankruptcy, restructuring, debt litigation, asset protection, and related financial matters. The firm’s physical office is located in Deerfield Beach.
Can Chapter 13 address mortgage arrears?
Chapter 13 may allow an eligible homeowner to address mortgage arrears through a court-supervised repayment plan while maintaining required ongoing payments. Timing, equity, income, prior filings, and the status of any foreclosure action should be reviewed before filing.
When should I review asset protection?
Asset-protection planning should be reviewed before transferring property or taking action during a creditor dispute. Florida exemptions and ownership structures can be fact-sensitive, and improper transfers may create additional legal issues in a later bankruptcy or collection case.
What should I bring to a bankruptcy consultation?
Helpful documents may include recent income records, tax returns, bank statements, mortgage and vehicle statements, creditor notices, lawsuits, judgments, business financial information, and a list of major assets and debts. Additional documents may be requested after the initial review.
Which bankruptcy chapters do you handle?
The firm handles Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Subchapter V, Chapter 12, and Chapter 13 matters when the client and case are eligible. The appropriate chapter depends on income, assets, debt structure, business activity, secured obligations, and financial goals.
Can businesses use Chapter 11 or Subchapter V?
Chapter 11 can provide a court-supervised restructuring process for qualifying businesses and individuals. Eligible small-business debtors may be able to use Subchapter V, which has specialized procedures and plan requirements designed for qualifying reorganizations.
Can bankruptcy help with MCA debt?
Chapter 11 or Subchapter V may be considered when merchant cash advance obligations, frequent withdrawals, personal guarantees, UCC claims, or collection actions are affecting business operations. Cash flow, collateral, contracts, and creditor rights require careful review.
Can bankruptcy stop collection lawsuits?
A bankruptcy filing can trigger the automatic stay, which generally pauses many collection actions, lawsuits, garnishments, and enforcement efforts. The scope of the stay, prior filings, secured claims, and any pending court deadlines should be reviewed before relying on bankruptcy protection.
