A bankruptcy may help you
get your debts discharged…
Which means you are released from some of your debts, and you will have a plan for paying others.
It’s a good idea to let a bankruptcy attorney lead you through the steps of filing for Chapter 7 because it may seem complicated if you haven’t filed before. For example, the date you file is important because of the status of your bank accounts, your rent and other assets you may have, including bills you’ve already paid.
