Chapter 11 can also be used for personal bankruptcy if the person filing has greater assets and debts allowed to be filed under Chapter 13 bankruptcy guidelines.

A skilled bankruptcy attorney can also help you negotiate better terms with your creditors as it relates to the reorganization plan and minimize your exposure withing the bankruptcy guidelines.
