Bankruptcy Lawyer Atlanta

No one wants to file bankruptcy, but in this tough economy it has become a painful reality for many people.  Bankruptcy is a serious financial step and should not be entered into lightly. However, the fortunate part about it being such an important step is it is provides considerable debtors against creditors. Below are just some of the signs that you might want to consult an attorney about filing bankruptcy:

​

• Is your house headed to foreclosure?

• Do you need a loan modification to stay in your home, but the bank refuses to work with you?

• Have you tried to short sale your home or give it back to the bank with a deed in lieu of foreclosure, but the bank will not work with you?

• Is your car about to be repossessed?

• Is your number one priority to keep your house and your car?

• Do you want to pay your creditors off, but just need an organized way via bankruptcy court protection to do so?

• Have you been sued? Or even worse, has that lawsuit led to a judgment or garnishment?

• Have you lost your job or been furloughed?

• Is your credit so bad you cannot qualify for a loan and you don have the ability to pay off your creditors?

• Can you not afford even the minimum payments on your credit cards?

• Can you afford only the minimum payments on your credit cards, but cannot pay down the balance beyond that?

• Are you sick of almost all of your credit card payments going to interest and penalties?

• Are your creditors not willing to work with you?

• Do you constantly receive harassing phone calls at home and at work?

• Is the emotional toll of your financial situation too much to deal with?

​

As you can see from the list above, there are many different reasons for individuals to file bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is hardly about giving up, but is rather about restructuring your life, which might include repaying your creditors, depending on your particular financial situation.

Bankruptcy is a complex area of law. Although you can represent yourself in the proceedings, we do not recommend doing so. We also do not recommend picking an attorney with whom you are not entirely comfortable. Filing bankruptcy is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, and bankruptcy done wrong or incomplete, can deny you the entirety of the relief of which you may be entitled.
