Kaligian helps individuals and families understand their legal options and move toward financial stability through bankruptcy protection.

Located just minutes from Orange in nearby Milford, Brian has dedicated his practice to consumer bankruptcy law. Every client works directly with their attorney throughout the entire process, receiving personal attention and straightforward advice from the initial consultation through the completion of their case.

Helping Orange Residents Find Debt Relief

Many people wait far too long before speaking with a bankruptcy attorney because they believe bankruptcy means failure. In reality, bankruptcy exists to help honest people regain control of their finances and eliminate debts they can no longer afford.

If collection calls, lawsuits, wage garnishments, or foreclosure threats have become part of your daily life, bankruptcy may provide immediate legal protections while giving you a clear path forward.

Brian works closely with clients to evaluate their financial situation and determine whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the most appropriate solution.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows many individuals to eliminate unsecured debts, including:

  • Credit card debt
  • Medical bills
  • Personal loans
  • Collection accounts
  • Certain judgments

Many Orange residents qualify for Chapter 7 based on their income and financial circumstances. If eligible, Chapter 7 often allows clients to receive a discharge of qualifying debts within several months while protecting many personal assets through available exemptions.

Brian carefully reviews every client's financial situation before recommending Chapter 7 to ensure it is the right choice.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Some individuals earn too much to qualify for Chapter 7 or need additional protection to save their home or catch up on overdue payments.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a structured repayment plan that allows individuals to reorganize their debts while keeping valuable assets. This option can help homeowners avoid foreclosure, stop repossession proceedings, and repay certain obligations over time.

Brian works with clients to create realistic repayment plans designed around their financial circumstances.

Stop Creditor Harassment

Debt collectors can make an already stressful financial situation even more overwhelming. Phone calls, letters, lawsuits, and threats often continue until legal action is taken.

Once a bankruptcy case is filed, the automatic stay immediately stops most collection activities, including:

  • Creditor phone calls
  • Collection letters
  • Lawsuits
  • Wage garnishments
  • Bank levies
  • Foreclosure proceedings
  • Vehicle repossessions

For many clients, this immediate relief is one of the most valuable benefits of filing bankruptcy.

Protecting Your Future

Bankruptcy is designed to provide a fresh financial start—not punish people experiencing financial hardship.

Many individuals are surprised to learn that filing bankruptcy often improves their long-term financial outlook by allowing them to eliminate overwhelming debt and begin rebuilding their credit.

Brian helps every client understand what to expect throughout the process and answers questions honestly and clearly.
