Bankruptcy Attorneys in Kansas City

Is bankruptcy right for you? Ask the Kansas City bankruptcy attorneys at Evans & Mullinix, P.A. Founded in 1974, the firm still bears the names of two of its original partners, Timothy Evans and Thomas Mullinix. Both are bankruptcy attorneys that have actively practiced law in the Kansas City metropolitan area and Northeastern Kansas. We possess extensive experience in all areas of bankruptcy in Kansas and Missouri, and we confidently guide our clients toward the option that best meets their financial needs.

Whether you are an individual or part of a business, the economy has certainly affected everyone’s financial stability. The Kansas City bankruptcy attorneys at our firm are equipped to learn about your situation, then draw on our years of expertise to provide you with sound legal counsel. You may already be aware of two popular solutions: Chapter 13 bankruptcy and Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also known as a reorganization bankruptcy, and is filed by individuals who want to pay off their debts over a period of three to five years. This type of bankruptcy appeals to individuals who have non-exempt property they want to keep. It is also only an option for individuals who have predictable income and whose income is sufficient to pay their reasonable expenses with some amount left over to pay off their debts.

Individuals who reside, have a place of business, or own property in the United States may file for bankruptcy in a federal court under Chapter 7. This is also known as straight bankruptcy, or liquidation. Chapter 7 is not available to individuals who have had bankruptcy cases dismissed within the prior 180 days under specified circumstances.

While these definitions are intended to offer an overview, both are very detailed processes that can be made easier by working with Kansas City bankruptcy attorneys. Other options exist as well.
