Consumer bankruptcy has been a core Brock & Stout practice since 1996. Our Mobile clients benefit from decades of firmwide Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 experience.
Brock & Stout has filed more than 40,000 bankruptcy cases firmwide, giving our team experience with a wide range of financial situations.
We will look at debts, income, and property, then tell you whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may help. The decision to file stays with you.
People contact our Mobile bankruptcy team for many reasons, including wage garnishment, lawsuits, overdue mortgage or vehicle payments, medical bills, credit-card debt, and other financial pressures.
The automatic stay generally pauses most collection lawsuits and collection activity while it remains in effect. Exceptions exist. A judgment already entered still has to be classified.
Filing generally triggers the automatic stay and can pause many wage garnishments while the stay remains effective. Prior cases and statutory exceptions can change that.
Many qualifying unsecured debts may be dischargeable. That is often why Mobile clients ask about Chapter 7. It is not every debt.
Chapter 13 may sometimes help eligible homeowners address mortgage arrears over time while ongoing payments continue. We do not promise that every home can be saved.
Bankruptcy can affect repossession activity. Chapter 13 may help with missed vehicle payments in some cases. An already repossessed vehicle is a timing problem.
You do not need a crisis on the courthouse steps. If the monthly picture does not work, a downtown consultation can tell you whether filing belongs in the conversation.
Chapter 7 can discharge qualifying debts. Many common unsecured debts may be dischargeable. Not every debt is. Eligibility rules apply.
Alabama exemptions affect the property analysis. Liens are not automatically removed. Filing downtown does not create a different set of federal rules.
Chapter 13 is a court-supervised repayment process, generally three to five years, with payments to a Chapter 13 trustee. Unsecured creditors are not necessarily paid in full.
It is often discussed when someone is behind on a house or car, or when Chapter 7 is not the better fit because of income or property.
Downtown convenience does not pick the chapter. Income, property, arrears, and the type of debt do.
| Topic | Chapter 7 | Chapter 13 |
|---|---|---|
| Basic approach | Discharge of qualifying debts through a Chapter 7 case | Court-supervised repayment process |
| Typical duration | Often a matter of months, although circumstances vary | Generally 3–5 years |
| Chapter 13 trustee plan payment | Generally no Chapter 13-style repayment plan | Plan payments to a Chapter 13 trustee |
| Dealing with arrears | Generally does not provide a multi-year catch-up plan | May help address eligible mortgage or vehicle arrears |
| Property considerations | Alabama exemptions and liens require a case-specific analysis | Often discussed when keeping certain property is an important goal |
| Eligibility | Chapter 7 rules, including applicable means-test considerations | Chapter 13 eligibility and plan requirements apply |
There is no universally better chapter. The right option depends on the person’s debts, income, property, and goals.
You do not need to know whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is right for you before you call. We’ll start with what is causing the financial pressure, review your debts, income, property, and goals, and explain the options that may be available. The consultation does not obligate you to file.
Tell us about the debts or collection problems that are causing concern, including any garnishment, lawsuit, foreclosure, repossession, or missed payments.
We’ll look at your income, debts, property, and other information that may affect your bankruptcy options.
We’ll explain how Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 may apply to your situation, including important benefits and limitations.
If you decide to move forward with Brock & Stout, we’ll explain the next documents and steps. If you need time to consider your options, that decision remains yours.
Bankruptcy can stop lawsuits, foreclosures, repossessions, and wage garnishments. Whether and how those protections apply in your situation can depend on timing, prior bankruptcy filings, and other facts. Our bankruptcy team can review what is happening now and explain what filing may change.
Bankruptcy is primarily federal law. Alabama exemptions still matter because Alabama uses its own exemption scheme instead of the ordinary federal list.
Mobile County is in the Southern District of Alabama. The clerk’s office and main courthouse are in Mobile. Venue follows the debtor’s residence or domicile, not which office you contacted. Baldwin County clients may use the Foley office for convenience and still file in the Southern District. See Alabama bankruptcy courts.
These attorneys currently practice bankruptcy and serve the Mobile office according to our directory. An attorney may represent Mobile clients without sitting in Suite 2320 every day.
Please call ahead to schedule an appointment. Bankruptcy consultations are available in person, by phone, or by video.

I had went there with very little knowledge. Celina and Abby did a great job with guiding me with every steps during my bankruptcy progress. They have excellent communication skills along with demonstrating and explaining what I am signing and how everything will move forward. I really appreciate their service and choosing them as my first step to financial freedom.

I had a great experience with this bankruptcy company. From the beginning, the staff was professional, knowledgeable, and very understanding of my situation. They took the time to explain the process, answer all of my questions, and make sure I understood each step along the way. Their communication was excellent, and I always felt like I was being treated with respect and compassion. The entire process was much less stressful because I knew I had a team that was there to help me. I truly appreciate their patience, guidance, and dedication to helping me get through a difficult time. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for professional and trustworthy bankruptcy assistance!
