We are committed to providing you the best bankruptcy experience for a reasonable fee.
Now that a creditor or yours has obtained a judgment against you they are now enforcing the judgment by garnishing your wages. This will continue until the judgment is satisfied in full. All of the creditors attorneys fees, costs, and the interest that has accrued is added to the judgment as well. A $5,000 dollar unpaid credit card can turn into a $10,000 judgment real quick. The good news is that bankruptcy will stop the garnishment of your wages and discharge the underlying debt if you qualify to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy based upon your income, expenses and assets.
During your free consultation we will discuss your income, expenses and assets to determine if bankruptcy is a viable option to get rid of your debts. Most consultations will last approximately thirty minutes to an hour. We will forward our Client Information Form to you prior to the consultation so you can evaluate your expenses and list your assets. This is a four page form that should only take you around a half hour or less to fill out. We will also ask you to bring proof of your income to the initial consultation. A couple recent pay statements or bank account statements for the last couple of months will usually suffice. We will be able to then quickly and accurately determine if you qualify to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy or a chapter 13 bankruptcy. Since the passage of the 2005 BAPCPA there are two courses that must be completed to file bankruptcy and obtain a discharge. The first one, Credit Counseling, must be completed before the bankruptcy case is filed. The second course, Financial Management, must be completed after the case is filed.
