Work Process

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 is the most popular form of bankruptcy because it allows most people to wipe out all (or most) of their debts within a few months. In return, you must give up your nonexempt property. The bankruptcy trustee (an attorney appointed to administer your case) sells this property and distributes the proceeds among your creditors based on priorities set by law. At the end of the process, the court will “discharge” (wipe out) most types of debts. However, bankruptcy doesn’t wipe out all types of debts. Chapter 7 won’t get rid of child support debt, certain income taxes, most student loans, debts incurred through fraud, and a few other types of debt.

You can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy once every eight years, and there are other factors that may influence when you are able to file for bankruptcy, too. One of the most important things you can do for yourself if you’re thinking about filing is to set up a meeting with a Maryland bankruptcy lawyer. Having your questions answered and getting clarification may be essential during this challenging time.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you keep all of your property. In return, you repay creditors (in full or in part, depending on a number of factors) through a court-approved repayment plan that lasts between three and five years. Instead of dealing with individual creditors, you make a single monthly payment to the bankruptcy trustee who then distributes payments to creditors.

You must pay some debts in full over the plan period (for example, back child support, back mortgage payments, and your car loan) and some you pay in part depending on what money is left over after the trustee pays your “priority” debts (for example, credit card debt and medical bills). You must continue to make your mortgage payments throughout your bankruptcy. Chapter 13 allows you keep your property so long as you can keep up with the payment plan. If you have an income and you believe you’ll be able to stick with it, consult with a Maryland bankruptcy attorney over whether filing for Chapter 13 is the right choice for you.

Joy Robinson did a great job handling my case. She made the entire process clear and manageable, with great communication every step of the way. What really stood out was the personal and family-oriented approach she showed. She not only helped me feel less anxious about the bankruptcy process but also helped me get a fresh start financially. I highly recommend them to anyone going through bankruptcy.

Joy Robinson is truly a rare gem in the legal world—compassionate, dedicated, and incredibly responsive. I submitted an inquiry through her website on a Saturday, fully expecting to hear back the following week. To my surprise, she personally called me that same day. Her willingness to respond over the weekend immediately set her apart and demonstrated her commitment to her clients.

Before connecting with Joy, I had consultations with several other bankruptcy attorneys—each quoting high, discouraging fees. Joy not only offered a much more reasonable rate, but confidently assured me, “You won’t find a fee like mine anywhere else.” She was absolutely right. After my final consultation with another firm confirmed her point, I knew I had found the right person to guide me through this process.

From that moment forward, Joy was by my side. She answered every phone call and text promptly, walking me through every step—before, during, and after filing. Her patient, reassuring nature helped calm my nerves through what could have been an overwhelming experience. Even when a hiccup occurred on my end during the 341 Hearing, Joy remained supportive and hands-on, ensuring everything stayed on track.

What truly sets Joy apart is not just her legal expertise, but her heart. She is kind, compassionate, hardworking—even on her days off—and truly puts people first. If you’re considering bankruptcy or are in need of trustworthy legal guidance, I recommend Joy Robinson highly enough! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! Her professionalism, accessibility, and genuine care for her clients make her one of a kind. I am now officially discharged and filled with gratitude—Joy, you are a blessing and an absolute angel!

She has basically left me hanging after taking my retainer. She has not provided any reports showing how much of the retainer she has used or how much is still remaining on the retainer. She has not returned my calls. I think she is still working remotely from jamacia. I dont recommend her services.

"I am very disappointed with the review that has been posted, as I believe it is unfair and unwarranted. It does not accurately reflect the facts of the situation. Mr. Powell had a highly complex set of circumstances, and I was hired to file a Chapter 7 case in September 2022. I worked on completing the petition for months, going back and forth with the client about submitting the proper documentation, which unfortunately never happened.My last communication with Mr. Powell was on December 14, 2022. Since then, I have not received any requests for a refund or any indication as to whether he wishes to proceed with the filing of his case. However, I am still willing to speak with Mr. Powell regarding any refund that he may be entitled to.It is important to note that an attorney cannot fulfill their duties without the cooperation of their client."I understand that a review has been posted regarding my services, and I must say that I am truly disappointed with it.

Joy was an excellent attorney. She guided us through what would have been an extremely confusing process. Her rates were more than fair and she was incredibly patient with us during the tedious process of gathering documentation and filling out forms. I would highly recommend her services.

Attorney Joy Robinson not only exceeded our expectations in handling our bankruptcy and foreclosure case but also demonstrated a level of genuine concern for our well-being. Her direct involvement, swift action, and dedication stopped the foreclosure process within 7 days. Moreover, she made recommendations to service providers who were equally professional, knowledgeable, available, and fast-acting. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation in similar matters. She’s definitely a diamond!

Thank you, I am always happy when my clients are happy with me.
First and foremost I have to thank GOD for sending Joy Robinson my way, she is a fighter for her people. When I could not see a way out she fought long and hard for me. She is very professional, she understands situations and most of all she is a voice.
