Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Larson Zirzow Kaplan?

If you're filing personal bankruptcy in Las Vegas, plenty of firms can do it for $1,500. But if your case has any complexity — significant business debt, an active lawsuit, a contested asset, a Subchapter V small-business reorganization, or a Chapter 11 — you want lawyers who only do bankruptcy. Larson Zirzow Kaplan is one of the few Nevada firms where the name partners hold the American Board of Certification credential in Business Bankruptcy. The firm operates within walking distance of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, takes both debtor and creditor work, and litigates contested matters that volume consumer firms typically refer out. Big-firm capability, boutique pricing.

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

Will I lose my house if I file Chapter 7?
Probably not. Nevada's homestead exemption protects up to $605,000 of equity in your primary residence — one of the most generous in the country. The firm runs the math during the consultation.
What's the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?
Chapter 7 wipes out qualifying debt in 3–6 months but requires you to pass a means test. Chapter 13 reorganizes debt into a 3–5 year repayment plan and is required for higher-income filers or those who want to keep a non-exempt asset like a paid-off second car.
Will bankruptcy stop a wage garnishment or foreclosure?
Yes. Filing triggers an automatic stay that immediately halts garnishments, lawsuits, foreclosure sales, and collection calls. The stay is one of the most powerful tools in the Bankruptcy Code.
How long does bankruptcy stay on my credit report?
Chapter 7 stays for 10 years; Chapter 13 stays for 7 years. Most clients re-establish credit within 12–24 months by using a secured card, paying on time, and keeping utilization low.
Do you handle business reorganizations under Subchapter V?
Yes — and aggressively. Subchapter V is a streamlined Chapter 11 for small businesses (up to ~$3.4M in non-contingent debt) that lets owners keep control while restructuring. The firm has deep Sub V experience.
