Bankruptcy Attorneys Oakland County

Do you have bills you cannot pay? Do you worry about dodging calls from collectors? Did a credit company file a lawsuit against you? If you are in any of these situations, you should talk to a bankruptcy attorney in Oakland County about your options. 

How Bankruptcy Helps People

There are many reasons why people get into debt and cannot keep up with payments. Some reasons are:

• Medical bills from an unexpected injury or illness
• Loss of a job of someone who supports your family
• Closing a business
• Poor investment decisions
• Lack of knowledge of credit cards and other credit lines

No matter why you have stress about money, always know there are options that can help you get out of your situation. One common option that people choose is filing for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy laws know that some people need extra help getting out of debts they cannot afford. These laws allow you to file a case in court, asking the judge to discharge your debts. “Discharge” means to wipe them clean as if you have already paid them in full. Once you receive a discharge at the end of a bankruptcy case, you will not have to worry about paying those debts anymore. This can give you relief from stress right away. 

Is Bankruptcy Right for You?

Filing for bankruptcy is not always the right choice for everyone who is concerned about paying the bills. The best way to know whether this is a good decision is to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer who can go over your situation. A lawyer will look over:

• Your income
• Your debts
• Your property

We can tell you whether bankruptcy is the best way to help you or whether there is another option. If you are constantly worrying about money, you don’t want to wait to speak to our law firm about a possible bankruptcy case. 

Do You Always Need a Lawyer to File for Bankruptcy?

The law never requires you to hire a lawyer for a bankruptcy case, but it is always smart to do so. Bankruptcy is a complicated process, and any mistakes can hurt your case. Your lawyer can:

• Help you decide which type of bankruptcy case to file
• Get all your paperwork ready and file it with the right court
• Talk to the bankruptcy judge and other people assigned to your case
• Help you keep as much of your property as possible
• Make sure that as many debts are discharged as possible

Many people don’t realize how hard a bankruptcy case can be. Don’t add to your stress by trying to handle a case on your own. Instead, reach out to our office for a free meeting about your debts.
