Re: bankrutcy

After receiving a Chapter 7 discharge, you cannot get a discharge in another Chap. 7 or Chap. 11 for 8 years, filing date to filing date. You can get a discharge in a Chap. 12 (assuming eligibility) with no waiting period between cases. A chapter 13 discharge is available in a case filed at least 4 years after the Chapter 7.

We handle cases under all chapters of the bankruptcy code throughout most of Virginia. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for counsel.
