The likelihood of bankruptcy helping you reduce criminal fines and restitution is every limited. The primary reason you do a bankruptcy is to discharge your debts. If you have significant debts that are not dischargeable, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy will probably not help you. Some relief may be available in a Chapter 13 but the debt from criminal fines, restitutions or other financial agreement arising from a crime or criminal activity is not dischargeable in the bankruptcy. Basically the following debts are not dischargeable: • Criminal Fines • Restitution • Parking Tickets • Toll Road Tolls • Municipal Fines Contact Us Contact bankruptcy attorney C.
