Will I lose my house or car in Chapter 7?
In Burke's experience, most Chapter 7 clients keep their house, cars and belongings — while credit cards, medical bills, personal and payday loans are wiped out.

Drowning
The calls and bills never stop
Credit cards, medical bills, payday loans. The minimums are more than you can pay, and collectors call you at home and at work.
Chapter 7 can wipe it out and stop the calls.
Call Burke UrgentThey are already taking money
Your paycheck is being garnished. Your bank account was frozen. Someone is threatening to sue — or already did.
Filing stops garnishment immediately.
Call Burke ProtectI am about to lose my house or car
You are behind on the mortgage or the car loan, and a foreclosure or repossession date is coming.
Chapter 13 lets you catch up and keep them.
Call BurkeHow it works
Three steps from buried to free.
No legal jargon. No hand-offs to paralegals. Here is what working with us actually looks like.
01
Call us
A free, confidential call with the attorney. Tell us about your debts, your income and what you are afraid of losing. We listen first.
02
We find the right chapter
We look at your income, the means test and Nebraska exemptions, then tell you straight whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 fits — and what it costs.
03
We file and protect you
The moment we file, the automatic stay stops collectors, lawsuits, garnishment and foreclosure. We handle the trustee meeting with you.
What we do for you
Two ways we help.
Chapter 7 — wipe out your debt
Erase credit cards, medical bills, personal loans and old judgments — usually in about 3 to 4 months. Even if you own a home, a car and have a job, Nebraska exemptions often let you keep them.
Chapter 13 — keep your house and car
Stop foreclosure or repossession and catch up on what you are behind over 3 to 5 years, in one affordable monthly payment you can actually make.
Stop the harassment now
Filing puts an automatic stay in place: collector calls, lawsuits, wage garnishment and bank levies must stop.
When to call us
If any of these sound like you.
Financial stress takes over your whole life. Call today — even if you are not sure bankruptcy is the answer.

From the firm
In our own words.
Plain-language answers about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy — straight from Burke Smith.
Garnished in the last 3 months? You may get that money back.
If $600 or more was garnished from your paycheck or bank account in the 3 months before you file, you may be able to get it back — in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. The sooner you file, the better your chances.
