A bankruptcy attorney can analyse your financial documents and then make an educated and a calculated decision about the chapter of bankruptcy that you should file for according to your current needs.
There are four chapters of bankruptcy available. Many people already know about the Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies, but few know about Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 bankruptcies.
