Orange County Bankruptcy Lawyer
Debt Relief for Orlando, Apopka & Winter Park
Orange County is the center of Florida's tourism economy, but the reality for residents is a skyrocketing cost of living. From the luxury apartments of Downtown Orlando and Lake Nona to the family neighborhoods of Apopka and Ocoee, wages often haven't kept up with rent, insurance, and inflation. In 2026, many hardworking families are just one medical emergency or missed paycheck away from financial crisis.
At Juan Burgos Law, we help you hit the "reset" button. We know that debt in Orlando isn't just about credit cards—it's about saving your home from HOA foreclosure, stopping your car from being repossessed, and preventing aggressive creditors from garnishing your wages at Disney, Universal, or AdventHealth. We use federal bankruptcy laws (Chapter 7 & 13) to give you a fresh start.
Communities We Serve in Orange County
Financial Challenges Unique to Orlando
Our strategy is tailored to the specific employment and housing landscape of Central Florida:
🛑 Stopping Wage Garnishment
Large employers like Disney and Universal comply with garnishment orders immediately. If a creditor takes 25% of your check, you can't pay rent. Filing bankruptcy puts an Automatic Stay in place, stopping garnishment instantly—often within 24 hours.
🏡 HOA & Mortgage Defense
In neighborhoods like Horizon West and Avalon Park, HOAs are aggressive. If you fall behind, they foreclose fast. A Chapter 13 plan allows you to catch up on missed payments over 3-5 years without losing your home.
Protecting Your Assets
A common myth is that you lose everything in bankruptcy. In Florida, that is rarely true due to our strong exemptions:
- ➤
Your Home: Under the Florida Homestead Exemption, your primary residence is 100% protected from unsecured creditors, no matter how much it is worth (with some residency requirements). - ➤
Retirement & 401(k): Your hard-earned retirement savings, pensions, and 401(k) accounts are generally fully protected. You do not have to sacrifice your future to fix your present.
Orange County Bankruptcy FAQs
Where is the bankruptcy court in Orlando?
The court is located downtown at the George C. Young Federal Annex. However, most creditor meetings ("341 Meetings") are currently conducted via Zoom or telephone, meaning you likely won't have to pay for downtown parking.
Will bankruptcy affect my security clearance or job?
It is illegal for an employer to fire you solely for filing bankruptcy (Section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code). For security clearances, resolving unmanaged debt through bankruptcy is often viewed more favorably than having delinquent, chaotic debt.

I called every lawyer in the Kissimmee and Orlando area, and even the most prestigious ones didn't treat me the way he did. I spoke to various attorneys; some wouldn't take my case because they didn't speak Spanish, and others declined for different reasons. I give him 5 stars and highly recommend him for his excellent work and good communication.
