Bankruptcy is designed for those with financial troubles who need a fresh start. At Twin City Attorneys, P.A. the first part of our job is to help you decide about whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy (removing many debts) or Chapter 13 bankruptcy (establishing a payment plan to get out of debt) is better for you. In some cases there may be alternatives to bankruptcy which you might prefer.

 

Clients need bankruptcy for many reasons. Some lose a job. With others, illness portends financial trouble. Still others succumb to the allure of credit cards with high interest rates. Generally, the sooner one does something about a financial problem the easier the solution will be. The more time you have before a foreclosure or an impending lawsuit or judgment, the easier the solution will be — for you and for your family.
