Bankruptcy law is complex. There are many considerations that must be taken into account when deciding if filing bankruptcy is right for you. Professionals in the legal community encourage consumers to hold off on making a decision about bankruptcy until they have received the advice and assistance of an experienced attorney who practices nothing but bankruptcy law.
Bankruptcy law is complex. There are many considerations that must be taken into account when deciding if filing bankruptcy is right for you.

Attorneys may charge a lot of money just to analyze your personal situation and discuss options. Services are now available which allow you to submit a free bankruptcy case evaluation and connect with a lawyer.
One of the two major types of bankruptcy for consumers is:
Chapter 7; also known as "straight bankruptcy", this law allows debtor to keep certain money and property including:
some home equity
life insurance
retirement funds
car & household goods
child support, alimony
social security
The rest of property is sold to pay creditors and this Chapter is useful to discharge credit card debt, medical and utility bills but does not resolve student loans, certain taxes, alimony or child support.
Another of the two major types of bankruptcy for consumers is Chapter 13; establishes a plan to repay creditors over time;
this allows you to get caught up without fear of repossession or foreclosure. As long as plan payments are made, property is protected from seizure and the repayment plan is typically 3 to 5 years.
If you have questions about bankruptcy, take advantage of a free bankruptcy consultation available online. Legal professionals will perform an evaluation of your situation after you submit your information for analysis. All information is kept confidential and you have the input of a well qualified and legally licensed attorney. That is your first step.
The next step is taking the attorney's advice on the best way to proceed to get your situation resolved under optimum conditions. Each person's situation is different depending upon the mitigating circumstances and what types of debts you have accumulated. What worked for Aunt Bessie may not be the best approach for you so the advice of an attorney is always a good course of action to pursue.
Be sure to ask all the questions that have been keeping you awake at night so that you walk away from your consultation feeling as though you've had the opportunity to learn a little bit about the attorney you are speaking to and the approach that the attorney recommends.
As one attorney said to me, in court, it is all about perception. Use your perception to clue in on the details and help figure out if this attorney is the right one for you and your situation.
