Local Germantown and Bethesda Bankruptcy Lawyer

Helping You Get Relief from  Debt

Filing for bankruptcy is nothing to be ashamed of. With exorbant interest rates, debt has a way of spiraling out of control before you have the opportunity to get it under control. It can happen to anyone, especially in today's economy. At the Germantown and Bethesda, Maryland, Law Offices of Alice Paré, we are dedicated to helping consumers find relief from debt.

When you are faced with the choice between paying for utilities and food or paying your credit card bills, it is time to seek help. Call 301-515-1190 or contact us online to schedule a complimentary telephone consultation to discuss your debt situation.

Bankruptcy is not right for everyone, but many consumers can get a fresh start by filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.


Chapter 7  Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as a liquidation bankruptcy, is designed to rid the individual of their consumer debt. Not everybody can qualify to file for Chapter 7, it is based on a formula known as the "means test." 

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

If you do not qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you might still be able to obtain Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This is an alternative approach in which you work with the court to create a payment plan based on your ability to pay back your debt over 5 years. At the end of your plan, debt that has not been paid back will be discharged.

Filing for Bankruptcy

We will work with you to file for bankruptcy and stop creditors from harassing you. Contact us to discuss your situation and find out how we can help you get relief from debt.

Organization is important in bankruptcy cases. Please gather and organize your debt information by creditor and date. Organize this information by year and tax return. We are happy to assist you with this process, but you can save money by doing it yourself.
