SHOULD YOU CONSIDER BANKRUPTCY?

These are difficult times; debt is mounting, and the stress of having to deal with the constant phone calls, letters, and other reminders of past due bills can be overwhelming. We know that the decision to file Bankruptcy isn’t an easy one. But--when you are faced with a mountain of debt, with no relief in sight, you need to take an aggressive stance and do something now that will help you rebuild and brighten your future.

Bankruptcy law changed in 2005; before that, filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy used to be fairly easy. Now, in order to qualify for a Chapter 7 , you have to meet the requirements of a "means test." Your income must be at or below the national median income and you cannot have filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the past eight years. The Bankruptcy Laws have become more and more complicated; we have the experience and knowledge to guide you through the process.

We also know that every dollar counts right now. You need to find an attorney whose experience and service you can trust — without having to pay for that initial, “getting-to-know-you” interview. We can assure you that we will treat you with the respect and professionalism you deserve at your first meeting and through every step after that. We’ll also be with you for each creditor hearing and Court appearance that is neeeded to complete your Bankruptcy.


From the day you hire our office, we will take the necessary steps to make sure that the debt collector calls will stop, which will allow you the breathing room to figure out what to do next. In a Chapter 7, most debts are eliminated, and you can confidently move on to the next phase of your life without the burden of overwhelming debt.

Please feel free to call us for a no charge initial consultation. We're here to help.
