    When I came to Vohwinkel Law I was at a major crossroads. I had so much going on and I had to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I went to other places for quotes and their prices and process was pretty daunting. However, Roy and especially America gave me 100% amazing service and I was so relieved. They explained everything so clearly and I asked several of questions throughout the process. America was so amazing on her responses and Rory is so easy going. Let’s just say I am very impressed by their service. I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone who is looking for firm who treats you like family and not a number. This firm will absolutely do this!

    I am so thankful for the Vohwinkel Law team in assist my husband and I with our bankruptcy. We just moved states, started new jobs, and suddenly my husband was in the hospital fighting for his life. Luckily my husband survived but we had almost a million dollars of medical debt and I racked up my credit cards being the sole provider. Bankruptcy seemed so scary but Vohwinkel showed us that it will and has benefitted us so much and has taken the burden off us.

    What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

    “The main difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy lies in how your debts are handled and your eligibility:

     

    Chapter 7 Bankruptcy – ‘Liquidation’
    What it does: Eliminates most unsecured debts (e.g., credit cards, medical bills).

     

    How it works:

    A court-appointed trustee may sell your non-exempt assets to pay creditors.
    Most people keep essential assets due to exemptions.
    Timeframe: Usually completed in 3 to 6 months.

     

    Who qualifies:

    Must pass the means test (income below your state’s median or not enough disposable income).

     

    Impact:

    Immediate relief from collection calls and lawsuits.

    Stays on your credit report for 10 years.

    Best for: People with low income and few assets who need a quick, fresh start.

     

    Chapter 13 Bankruptcy – ‘Reorganization’

    What it does: Allows you to keep your property and repay debts over time.

     

    How it works:

    You propose a 3- to 5-year repayment plan to the court.

    You pay a portion of your debt based on your income.

     

    Who qualifies:

    Regular income required.

    Debt limits (as of 2025): up to ~$2.75 million in total debts.

     

    Impact:

    Can stop foreclosure and let you catch up on mortgage payments.

    Stays on your credit report for 7 years.

    Best for: People with steady income who want to catch up on missed mortgage or car

    payments and keep their property.”

     

    — Rory Vohwinkel, Bankruptcy Attorney

    How much does it cost to file for bankruptcy in Las Vegas?

    We charge $1800 for an individual chapter 7 and $2000 for a joint chapter 7.

     

    For Chapter 13, you pay $1000 down and then an additional $6500 is paid through the chapter 13 plan after it is filed, so it is part of your payments in the chapter 13 plan paid to the court.

     

    The filing fees for chapter 7 are $338 and for chapter 13 they are $313. These fees are included in our fees, in addition to the cost of a credit report that we obtain for the clients. The only additional fees are $20 for each court required online credit counseling and financial management courses, one taken before the filing and one taken after the filing.”

     

    — Rory Vohwinkel, Bankruptcy Attorney

    Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy?

    “If you are current on payments, you can keep your house and car in a chapter 7 case assuming you continue paying for them if they have a loan. There are exceptions to this however. If your equity exceeds the exemption limits then you may have an issue. Or if you have more than one vehicle (or two if married and filing jointly) you may have an issue because you only get an exemption for one vehicle (or two if married and filing jointly).

     

    In a chapter 13 case, you can keep all your property.”

     

    — Rory Vohwinkel, Bankruptcy Attorney

    How long does the bankruptcy process take?

    “Chapter 7 takes about 90 days from filing to completion.
    Chapter 13 takes 3-5 years depending on the case.”

     

    — Rory Vohwinkel, Bankruptcy Attorney

    Will bankruptcy stop wage garnishment?

    “Yes. But although it should happen right away due to the automatic stay protection that goes into effect upon the filing of the bankruptcy, in reality, it takes about a week after filing to stop the wage garnishment. This is because we have to notify the creditor, get them to release the garnishment, then get the release over to the constable to sign a release and then get those releases to the employee’s payroll department who has to stop the garnishment in their system. Sometimes, depending on the filing and the payroll dates, money garnished after the filing can be recovered from the creditor, but not always.”

     

    — Rory Vohwinkel, Bankruptcy Attorney

    Do I need an attorney to file for bankruptcy?

    “No, you can file bankruptcy without a lawyer — this is called filing ‘pro se.’ But whether you should depends on your case’s complexity and the chapter you’re filing under.”
