Ready to Talk to a Bankruptcy Attorney?

These tools are a great starting point, but nothing replaces a free consultation with a licensed bankruptcy attorney who knows your state's laws.

How to Use These Tools

These tools are designed to help you understand your debt relief options before you speak to an attorney. They use the same factors bankruptcy attorneys evaluate during initial consultations — income, debt level, asset profile, and urgency — to give you a realistic picture of your situation.

Start with the Debt Relief Options Quiz if you're not sure which path is right for you — it takes 2 minutes and points you toward the most relevant tools. If you already suspect Chapter 7 may be the right fit, go directly to the Chapter 7 Pre-Screener for a detailed eligibility assessment.

All tools are free to use and do not require creating an account. Results are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice.
