What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?

How long does a bankruptcy case take in the Eastern District of California?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last 3 to 5 years depending on your repayment plan.
