How Does Bankruptcy Stop Lawsuits?

There is good news if you have been sued by a creditor: Bankruptcy can stop the lawsuit. Whatever stage the lawsuit is in — if you have just been served with papers, if it is already in court, if you have only been threatened with a lawsuit — bankruptcy creates what is known as an "automatic stay," a legal action that stops lawsuits and other creditor actions.

The automatic stay will put an immediate stop to:

  • Wage garnishment
  • Bank account levies
  • Home foreclosure
  • Repossession of automobiles
  • Liens against property

If you have been sued for a debt, our bankruptcy lawyers are here to help you explore your debt relief option. We handle Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies for clients throughout Northern California and Nevada. We understand the anxiety that comes with having a lawsuit brought against you. We will put our skill and experience to work for you to help you put an end to the lawsuit and achieve your debt relief goals.
