Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a Miracle For Our Clients
Picture this: You owe a ton of money on your credit cards. You’re at risk for falling behind on your house and car payments, even though you’re up-to-date currently.
You make your payments, but your bills look pretty much the same month after month. It seems like most of your payments are going to interest. You don’t see a way out.
What Not To Do Before You Meet With A Bankruptcy Attorney
You are eager to do something about your uncomfortable debt situation. You have been trying a variety of options to find debt relief and, while at times you were making progress, you no longer feel that way and you want to look at other options, including bankruptcy help.
Follow Our Legal Advice, Not the Internet
I heard it again from a client with whom I met recently.
“I don’t want to lose my car, and I was reading on the internet. . .”
OHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO!
What to Expect (And Not Expect) At Your Initial Consultation
“No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected.”
This is a famous quote by Julius Caesar, and we here at Steidl and Steinberg wholeheartedly agree with the famous Roman emperor.
Many of our clients have never had a reason to see an attorney. For many, going to see an attorney can, in fact, be somewhat disconcerting, especially when the issue is related to debt problems.
Do I Have Enough Debt to File Bankruptcy?
The value of money and debt have very different meanings for different people.
I had a potential client come in for a consultation who wanted to know if she had enough debt to file for bankruptcy. She owed about $8,000 and wasn’t sure if that was enough to file.
