Cannon is Board-Certified as a Consumer Bankruptcy Specialist by The American Board of Certification and The Tennessee Board of Continuing Legal Education and Specialization. Bankruptcy is all he has ever done. Below is a brief description of our various practice areas in this field.
- Debt problems and solutions: Bankruptcy is a way to resolve the debt issues that have been negatively impacting your life. At our law firm, we begin each consultation by informing our clients what bankruptcy is all about. We will work to dispel any myths you may have about the bankruptcy process, while giving you information about the various types of bankruptcies. We will answer your questions, such as whether you can keep your house or your car, or how bankruptcy will impact your credit. We can help you see if you qualify for bankruptcy under the bankruptcy means test as well. Bankruptcy can stop creditor harassment, wage garnishments, lawsuits, and all other attempts to collect your debt. Our law firm practices primarily in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Middle District of Tennessee. We serve clients in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Clarksville and other areas in the central part of the state.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: Chapter 13 bankruptcy gives you the chance to pay off your debts over a three- to five-year time frame. In order to be eligible for Chapter 13, the main qualification is to have a steady income from any source, usually a job. If Chapter 13 is right for you, we will explain how Chapter 13 works, the Chapter 13 discharge, the Chapter 13 plan and confirmation hearing as well as the advantages of Chapter 13. For many homeowners, Chapter 13 is a chance to strip off the debt owed for a second mortgage. Chapter 13 may be used to reorganize a business known as sole proprietorship as well. Chapter 13 cannot reorganize a corporation, LLC or partnership.
- Chapter 11 business bankruptcy: Our law firm helps businesses file bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. We will advise you of the various issues involved in a Chapter 11 filing, such as IRS payroll taxes and restructuring your business debt. The earlier we are involved in your case, the earlier we may be able to work out arrangements with your bank. Chapter 11 may be the right choice for certain individuals as well that are not in business.
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy can allow you to get control over your finances. Our law firm will help determine if you are eligible for Chapter 7, and whether your debts will be discharged in a Chapter 7 filing. We will also inform you of how Chapter 7 works.
What debt can you discharge? One of the biggest issues involved in any bankruptcy involves the kind of debt that can and cannot be discharged. Certain debts, such as credit card bills, medical bills and payday loans, are almost always dischargeable in bankruptcy. Other debts, such as student loans, are rarely dischargeable. There are other exceptions as well and it can be complicated.
