With a respected business law practice, Reid & Hellyer’s bankruptcy department has years of experience with Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings for numerous companies seeking a business bankruptcy in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Only an individual with regular income who owes, on the date the petition is filed, less than $360,475 in unsecured debt and $1,081,400 in secured debts may file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
