We offer flexible payment plans and free consultations to discuss your specific situation. Call 313-246-4128 for transparent pricing information.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure in Dearborn?
Yes. Filing bankruptcy creates an automatic stay that immediately stops foreclosure proceedings in Dearborn and throughout Wayne County. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to catch up on missed mortgage payments over 3-5 years while keeping your home. Our Dearborn attorneys have helped hundreds of Wayne County homeowners save their homes through bankruptcy protection.
Do I need to visit your Dearborn office?

Will I lose my house if I file bankruptcy in Dearborn?
For most Dearborn homeowners, the answer is no. Michigan's homestead exemption protects up to $45,000 in home equity for individuals ($90,000 for married couples). Chapter 13 specifically helps you keep your home by allowing you to catch up on missed mortgage payments over time.

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy that eliminates most unsecured debts in 4-6 months. Chapter 13 is a 3-5 year repayment plan that allows you to catch up on mortgage arrears and keep your assets. Acclaim Legal Services achieves a 96% Chapter 7 discharge rate and 80%+ Chapter 13 confirmation rate. During your free consultation, we'll help determine which option is best for your situation.
