Bankruptcy
No one wants to file bankruptcy, but in this tough economy it has become a painful reality for many people. There were over 1.5 million individual filings in 2010. Considering that alot of those filings were for married couples and that number also does not inlcude those individuals who filed bankruptcy for their business, it's safe to say that if you are considering filing bankruptcy this year, you are hardly alone.

Bankruptcy is a complex area of law, even more so after the 2005 changes in the 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 you are entitled.
