The New Bankruptcy Laws went into effect on October 17, 2005 but bankruptcy relief is still available! If you are interested in possibly filing a bankruptcy case, read the information on this webpage and schedule a personal consultation.
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, but the basic elements of relief (such as discharging certain debts and protecting you from your creditors) still exist.
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.
