Knowledge is Key
Clients come to us with a range of information and financial situations, from an impending wage garnishment to an exploration of options. Bankruptcy involves a complex set of issues to determine whether or not it is in your best interest to file for bankruptcy and whether or not you qualify. The rules change daily depending on how the courts interpret the bankruptcy legislation. There are issues that you need to consider regarding whether or not it is in your best interest to keep property, what property you can keep based on legal exemptions that vary from state to state, what debts are dischargeable, what creditors you can pay, whether or not you can file separately if you are married or in a domestic partnership, how your income will be interpreted, whether you can operate a business, what debts are dischargeable and whether or not your conduct in the past will have an negative impact on the bankruptcy. In order to evaluate these issues you should seek assistance from a lawyer. A lawyer can sort through the issues and determine what will work best for you.
