Filing for Bankruptcy

It is a last resort; but, one that may be the only option for some who are deeply in debt to get control of their financial situation.

The first step is to determine whether bankruptcy is the appropriate option for you. When making this decision, it may be helpful to discuss your situation with a reputable credit counseling agency that can explain your choices to you, including bankruptcy. If you choose to file for bankruptcy, it is important to understand the different types of bankruptcies and to know which applies to your situation.

Bankruptcy and the laws that govern it are complex. It is strongly recommended that you seek the advice of a bankruptcy attorney to determine which type is most appropriate to your situation and how to proceed.
