From information on current laws, to finding a good bankruptcy attorney, we want help you get on with your life. Remember, you really can eliminate your debt without permanently damaging your credit with the help of a qualified attorney.

First, assess your financial situation

Taking a close look at the bottom line is a courageous first step. But, it's a crucial first step. You may start the process yourself. However, the best avenue is to get legal counsel even in the early stages. An experienced attorney may be able to help separate panic from reality and even advise that you might not be in as bad shape as you think.

Some initial questions to ask yourself include:

1. Are you heavily in debt, with little prospect of getting out of that debt in the near future?

2. Have you had, or are your creditors threatening, a foreclosure on your home, a repossession of your car or other legal action to take your property?

3. Have you experienced a dramatic drop in income that you don't anticipate replacing anytime soon?

4. Are you frequently late paying bills?

5. Do you only pay the minimum on your credit cards?

6. Are you unable to make even the minimum payments?

7. Do you have to sacrifice basic necessities just to make ends meet?

8. Are you paying more money than you make on just your monthly living expenses?

9. Are you losing sleep at night wondering how you're going to make it?

10. Have you bounced more than one check in the last two months?

11. Are your wages currently, or in jeopardy of, being garnished?

12. Have you recently become partially or totally disabled?

13. Are you going through a divorce resulting in a decrease of income but an increase in expenses?

If you answered yes to some or a number of these questions, a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may be right for you.
