Why Choose A Bankruptcy Law Firm?

Too often, individuals glance over bankruptcy in favor of quick band-aid remedies for overwhelming debt. Such remedies include, but are not limited to:

  1. Stressing close relationships by borrowing money from friends and family
  2. Taking out cash advances on credit cards
  3. Securing loans from payday loan companies at rates of up to 300%
  4. Accidentally selling assets that are protected from creditors
  5. Unnecessarily liquidating retirement accounts to pay bills
  6. Writing bad checks that could result in prosecution or high bank fees
  7. Engaging in fraudulent/illegal activity or gambling to earn cash

What debtors often do not realize is that engaging in any of the aforementioned actions can actually do you more harm than good.
