Get a fresh start

Bankruptcy is most particularly difficult for clients. Many clients feel it is a personal embarrassment and only come to see the lawyer when they have already sold many assets in an effort to pay their obligations. If a client is even thinking of filing bankruptcy, it is time to explore their situation before they, perhaps, sell assets that they might normally be able to retain.

In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the client normally gets rid of all of his unsecured debts such as credit card debt and perhaps reaffirms debt on the home in order to keep their residence. The rest of the debts are normally dischargeable.

There are debts in bankruptcy that are not dischargeable. For example, student loans, child support, alimony, intentional torts, and other types of debt are not dischargeable.

To file or not to file

To file or not to file that is the question. It can seem to be a question of life and death but not to fear, it doesn't have to be. Michigan bankruptcy laws provide an array of options and protections for those that chose to file. There is no magic formula for when and if you choose to file. But there are certain signs that point in its direction.
