Don't Believe the Rumors: Bankruptcy is Still Available!

The New Bankruptcy Laws went into effect on October 17, 2005 but relief is still available! 

There is a lot of misinformation floating around regarding the new bankruptcy laws. Don't believe the negative rumors. Relief is still available under Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and even Chapter 11 for individuals and businesses.  There are more eligibility requirements before you file bankruptcy and more documentation requirements after you file (declare) bankruptcy, but bankruptcy is still available.

True, it has become more difficult and burdensome to navigate your way through the bankruptcy process (yet another reason to use a bankruptcy attorney), but the basic elements of relief, such as discharging certain debts and protecting you from your creditors, still exist.  Click here to see the important benefits of using a bankruptcy attorney instead of a paralegal or "doing it yourself."

Now more than ever it is crucial that you have an experienced bankruptcy attorney who knows the new laws and can guide you through the process while minimizing the costs and problems to you.

If you live in Southern California or the bankruptcy case affecting you was a filing in Southern California (Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, San Luis Obispo County), contact me now to schedule a consultation to see if it is in your best interest to file.

Have a bankruptcy lawyer review your paperwork prepared by a paralegal or yourself.
