Bankruptcy

Is bankruptcy the right choice for me?

 

If you are facing financial difficulties, you might benefit from filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a way in which the federal court provides financial relief to debtors. You might want to consider bankruptcy as an option if any of the following apply to you:

​

• You have a large amount of debt.

• You are struggling to pay your minimum payments.

• You are receiving collections letters or telephone calls.

• A creditor has obtained a judgment against you.

​

Many people experience financial hardship at some point in their lives due to any number of circumstances. Most people that are experiencing financial hardship are hesitant to file bankruptcy or to even consult an attorney regarding bankruptcy. However, bankruptcy can be a good way to get some relief from overwhelming debt.
