The announcement comes as consumer bankruptcy filings continue rising nationwide. According to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, consumer bankruptcy filings increased more than 15% during 2025 compared to the previous year. The expanded services were announced to help individuals better understand repayment-based bankruptcy solutions.
Unlike Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 13 bankruptcy — sometimes called a wage-earner repayment plan — allows individuals to make monthly payments to a bankruptcy trustee over 36 to 60 months, with funds distributed among creditors under a court-approved structure. This approach may allow individuals to catch up on missed mortgage payments, address overdue vehicle loans, and manage unsecured debts such as credit card balances and medical bills without putting key assets at immediate risk.
Attorney Kim Covington has assisted Oregon families, individuals, and small-business owners with bankruptcy relief for more than 24 years. The law office offers free consultations, flexible scheduling, and payment plan options for those evaluating whether Chapter 13 is appropriate for their situation. The firm's focus is on helping clients develop a clear understanding of their options before committing to major financial decisions.
"Many people assume bankruptcy means giving up everything they own, but Chapter 13 was designed to help individuals reorganize debt while working to keep important assets," said Kim Covington. "Understanding how repayment plans work can help people make more informed decisions about their financial future."
Chapter 13 may also offer immediate legal protection through the automatic stay, which can halt collection efforts and give individuals time to reorganize their finances, for homeowners facing foreclosure or individuals working to prevent vehicle repossession, filing before critical deadlines may preserve additional options under federal bankruptcy law.
