Should I File Bankruptcy?

Deciding whether to file bankruptcy is one of the most personal financial decisions you can make. Most people who come into our office feel stressed, embarrassed, or worried they're doing something wrong. They're not โ€” bankruptcy is a legitimate legal tool, and the vast majority of our clients are honest people who hit hardship through no fault of their own: a job loss, a divorce, a medical event.

Warning Signs Worth a Phone Call

Five signs it's worth a phone call

If any one of these sounds like your situation, a conversation costs you nothing.

  • Your monthly bills exceed your income
  • You're behind on your mortgage or car payments
  • You're facing a lawsuit, repossession, or foreclosure
  • Your wages are being garnished or your bank account has been levied
  • Collection calls and letters are constant
You don't need all five. One is enough reason to call. There's no obligation, and you'll leave knowing whether bankruptcy is right for you.
