Don't Wait Too Long to file
Personal and Business Bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy is not for everyone. My office analyzes the particulars of your debt situation to determine whether bankruptcy is right for you now.
If bankruptcy is not the right step for you at this time, you may still have claims against creditors. You may be able to collect damages if you have been harassed by a creditor or a collections agency. I will represent you and negotiate on your behalf to get you what you are owed.
If filing for bankruptcy is the next step for you, then I guide you through the entire process, whether you are filing for business bankruptcy or personal bankruptcy. After analyzing your particular situation, I instruct you on which debts can be discharged and which cannot. I prepare your bankruptcy petition, file this petition with the court, and follow up with the trustee to fulfill any outstanding document request. Additionally, I prepare you for the required 341 meeting with the trustee and represent you in any adversarial proceedings between you and creditors.
Filing for bankruptcy is not free, but this should not be a deterrent for you. Legal representation for bankruptcy can be funded with $0 down, and your payments can be made over the course of a year. The important issue here is that you don't wait too long to file.
Let's get the process started today. Legal representation for bankruptcy can save you thousands of dollars.
