Debt Has a Legal Exit. We’ll Show You Yours.
Every year, thousands of Central Florida families and business owners use the bankruptcy laws Congress wrote for exactly this moment — a layoff, a medical bill, a business that didn’t survive. Filing isn’t failure; it’s the system working. Our practice is exclusively the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida — the Orlando Division for most Central Florida residents, and the Tampa Division for Polk County. We’re not a Miami or Fort Lauderdale firm with a satellite address. This is home, and nearly all hearings are held remotely by video.
How We Can Help
Chapter 7 — Eliminate Debt Fast
Wipe the slate clean. Unmanageable credit cards, overwhelming medical bills, and personal loans can be completely gone in as little as 3 to 5 months. Best of all, Florida’s robust statutory exemptions are designed to protect your primary home and personal vehicle throughout the process.
Chapter 13 — Save Your Home
Put an immediate stop to foreclosure actions and protect your equity. This pathway allows individuals with a steady income to stop lender harassment, catch up on missed mortgage payments, and restructure past-due debts into a manageable 3 to 5-year court-approved installment plan.
Subchapter V — Save Your Business
A streamlined version of Chapter 11 specifically engineered for small businesses. It gives you the power to freeze collections, re-index high-interest lines of credit, and permanently restructure your corporate debts while keeping your doors open and retaining full ownership control.
Chapter 11 — Complex Reorganizations
Strategic financial defense built for larger commercial entities, structured corporations, and high-debt individuals whose total liability profiles exceed standard statutory filing limits. Reorganize your debt under current management without disrupting operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bankruptcy attorney cost in Orlando?
+
Bankruptcy fees depend completely on the specific chapter you file and the unique complexity of your financial situation. For a straightforward personal Chapter 7 case, we can typically establish a predictable upfront fee, provided no sudden complications surface — such as newly discovered unlisted debts or active collection lawsuits. Corporate reorganizations under Chapter 11 and Subchapter V are naturally more complex and are quoted based on the specific needs of your case.
Which bankruptcy option is right for me?
+
As a general rule of thumb: Chapter 7 is designed to completely eliminate qualifying unsecured debt, Chapter 13 focuses on saving a primary home from foreclosure, and Subchapter V is built to safeguard and restructure a small business. During your strategic consultation, we will verify the exact pathway that fits your unique situation against your actual financial numbers.
Do you handle cases outside of Orlando?
+
Yes, our firm proudly serves individuals and businesses throughout all of Central Florida — including Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties, which file in the Orlando Division, and Polk County, which files in the Tampa Division. All of these cases are handled through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, and nearly all hearings today are held remotely by video.
Do I need to speak English to work with your firm?
+
Not at all. You will never have to worry about language barriers or confusing translation systems here. Attorney Burgos directly provides personalized legal representation fluently in Spanish and Portuguese, and we also have native Chinese speakers on our team fully dedicated to assisting, protecting, and guiding our local Chinese American community through every step of the legal process.
