What Is Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy offers individuals and business owners a crucial chance to restructure their debts and work with creditors to develop a realistic and sustainable repayment plan. While the fundamental concept may appear straightforward, the intricacies of Chapter 11 cases can be quite complex.

How Can a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Benefit Me?

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy can help you restructure a wide range of debts, including defaulted or matured loans, past-due tax obligations, and other financial liabilities. It can also stop foreclosure proceedings, remove certain liens from real estate, and provide a path to renegotiate terms with your creditors.


One of the key advantages of Chapter 11 is that you generally remain in control of your finances as a debtor-in-possession, allowing you to continue managing your business or personal assets while working toward financial stability.


Although the process can be complex, Attorney Eric J. Gravel will guide you through each step with clarity and care. He’ll help you navigate the legal requirements, communicate with creditors, and work toward a sustainable plan for recovery.
