How-often-can-i-file-bankruptcy-300x200.jpg
The purpose of filing bankruptcy is to rid yourself of damaging debt and allow you to get back on your feet. Often times, people find themselves back in stressful financial situations and may need to file bankruptcy again. The bankruptcy laws, however, restrict how often you can file bankruptcy.   The first determination to make is whether your previous bankruptcy case was dismissed or discharged. A bankruptcy case is dismissed if you failed to comply…
Dont-know-where-spouse-is-300x200.jpg
You can certainly file for divorce without knowing your spouse’s location. The problem becomes whether a court will grant you a divorce without notifying your spouse. This is the basic concept of due process. You cannot do something in the courts if you do not let the other person know.

Cosigner-300x297.jpg
As a bankruptcy attorney, I rarely advocate for people to co-sign any debt for another person. The rare situation in which co-signing may be acceptable would be for spouses to co-sign on a debt for the other.

Don’t co-sign for…

Cost is often the most important factor for people when deciding to hire a lawyer. However, many people do not realize that the cost of having your case done incorrectly is often times worse than the cost. Having your case done wrong cannot often be fixed. Here are the explanations of, pros,…

human-element-300x200.jpg
After spending over a decade in the field of education, I have learned a large amount this past year as a paralegal in a family law firm. In education, I was always told the key is to “not take things personally”. I have heard the same advice in the legal field as well. Through the years, I have learned that philosophy is not going to help me become highly effective in what I am doing.…

A Meeting is where a Debtor appears before the Trustee to answer questions about their petition, schedules, and statements, under oath.   The meeting is also an opportunity for the Trustee to review the information you provided, confirm the information is correct, and ask any additional questions they may have.…
