Burke Smith Law
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy · Omaha, NE

Wipe out your debt. Keep what matters.

Many Nebraskans think bankruptcy is not an option because they own a home, a car and have a job. That is simply not the case. Chapter 7 erases most unsecured debt — often in about 3 to 4 months.

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.
