I’m planning to file for personal bankruptcy and none of the law firms will quote me a price on what the cost will be. Could anyone please inform me of a good bankruptcy lawyer available at the lowest price available. Thanks
I have bachelor of science in mathematics and I could not get any job since graduation. Due to my inability to get job, I had to file chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. I noticed the bankruptcy lawyer’s office was flooded with clients. There were like 37 to 40 people sitting in the lawyer office lobby to wait for their consultation. The bankruptcy lawyer told me "its been very stressful with so many clients. I am sorry for making you wait this much". He charges 1800 dollars per clients. And since there were about 40 in lobby, that’s an income of 72000 dollars already. And the consultation fees is 350 dollars for the first time meeting. Having seen this I get motivation to become bankruptcy lawyer myself and open my own law office. Because of poor economy I will surely get lot of people who want to file bankruptcy. And since I have bachelor of science in math I already meet whatever pre-requisites are required to enter law school. Moreover, my bankruptcy attorney graduated from my own university law school. So what more do I have to do now after BS in math to become chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer? I will file chapter 7’s for all the broke and poor people in the town
I filed bankruptcy when I lived in California in 2003. I now have gotten myself into another financial bind and am having to consider doing it again. I now live in Nevada and I was told by one bankruptcy lawyer here in Nevada that said that since I filed less than 8 years ago, I would have to file Chapter 13 . Does anyone know if this stipulation is the case for any state ? And since I live in Nevada, do I have to file in Nevada, or can I file in California?

My husband owes banks line of credit ( bad advise from financial person now nowhere to be found) and personal credit at about 15K, what should we do? We have managed to find a buyer for our house for 250k house is worth at least 329k we have good equity of about 160k but due to the market we will loose about 40k and walk away with about 90k. What should we do? should we file bankruptcy at 0.00 per week as per bankruptcy lawyer chp 13 ( we can not manage that hubby only earns about 600 per week average) so we could loose everything maybe end up in chapter 7 i do not want to end up with foreclosure on my credit as well because my name is on our house also. H-E-L-P I have heard that we could get someone, maybe a lawyer to negotiate for us with the banks as they would get about 50 cents on the dollar in bankruptcy anyway?
I have outstanding credit card debt of roughly ,000 or so and it’s been 2 years since they have been in collections. One of the 2 CC companies is now suing me for ,000. I have a part-time job making /hr and my yearly income is roughly ,000/yr, so I’m already quite limited financially. The only significant asset I own is a 1999 Mercury Sable (paid for), as I rent. It seems my biggest concern should be wage garnishment, I think. Is that a big risk making only k/year? Or maybe I should just file bankruptcy? I live in Ohio, if that helps.
EDIT: Also, I have an initial consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer tommorrow, is there anything I should ask him about?
the bankruptcy is over? even when they did not respond to the bankruptcy lawyer.
I,m concerned with not only having a bankrupcy on credit report, but now a forclosure also?
We live in Blue Springs MO, we need to file for a chapter 7 bankruptcy and so far all the lawyers we’ve contacted seem very expensive, and my husband does not have a job right now so money is very tight! So if any one knows of a good cheap bankruptcy lawyer let me know!
my wife an i are going in to see a bankruptcy lawyer next thursday. we have two cars 10 years old and are still paying on one we got last year. the other is paided off. we owe about 60,000 on credit cards and hospital bills and school loans. she was caught in a down sizing and i was put on ssi because of medical problems. we do have a mortage on our house. what can we expect to lose if we file for bankruptcy. how much will they take inside the house and if they will take one or both of our cars and even the house. this is very scary cause its was all good until i started having too many surgery and she lost her 16+ an hr job and now has to take a 10 hr. myself was put on SSI for good.
I am considering filing for bankruptcy due to extensive medical bills. I have a car that was totalled, but I owe ,000. I had a co-signer sign for the car. Does anyone know what happends to that person after i file?
Do I get to keep the car? The car has no value and barely drives.
Also does anyone know of inexpensive alternatives to using a bankruptcy lawyer. In california we had a legal document service called "We the People" I am residing in TX.
Can i do the paperwork myself?
My bankruptcy lawyer told me I am definitely eligible to file and we have started the process. I just wanted to know what happens to all that credit card debt, that is what I filed on. I did not want to ask the lawyer because maybe it is a stupid question.
I may have to file bankruptcy due to losing a court case and owing ,000 for attorney fees and court costs.
How much would it cost to hire a bankruptcy lawyer to do it? And is it possible I can be denied????
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I just came from a bankruptcy lawyer in california and she wants 1799 up front total including everything for a chapter 7 bankruptcy. I am moving to prescott valley arizona in three weeks and wonder if it will cost less if I move there and wait the 90 days and file there. Can anyone help?
I just want know of a good bankruptcy lawyer in NJ. My brother through out last year has been dawning in credit card/.medical debt. The medical debt is due to my nephew, who was born not so healthy and had to get many surgeries and so much attention from different doctors at Children s hospital of Philadelphia (CHOPS). As of right now he is not delinquent on any credit cards, but I fear that soon he will. I am just trying to fine options for my brother. What can be his best alternative.
Thank you
I have been sick over a year. I have been battling it out with social security and have not received any income since my illness. I do not own any property, not even a car. It got repossessed during my illness. I had to break my lease and stop paying my credit cards. My total debt is around 80K. My credit is devastated. I found out my former landlord intends on getting a judgement. I have no money, but am allowed to live for free right now because of my parents. I’m 26. I went to law school for 2 years before I got sick. I bought a NOLO book on bankruptcy, but it seems like the process is stressful and confusing. I don’t have the money to hire an attorney. Nobody else has tried to sue me yet. My family said they would pay up to 2K for a bankruptcy lawyer as like a birthday/christmas present, but I feel bad because they have already been paying for so much (my medical bills, me living in their house). Should I file this myself, wait, or get the attorney? There is no way I can pay all these people back at this point.
Oh I have a free consultation on Monday.
I know it is not advised due to new bankruptcy laws, but I can’t afftord to pay a bankruptcy lawyer. If I could, then I wouldn’t need to file bankruptcy. I’m a college student with over 10,000 dollars worth of debt and I just found a job but pays 7.00/hr. I barley have enough money to pay for the court filing fees. So any suggestions on filing myself? Or any affordable bankruptcy lawyers in the metro Atlanta, GA area?
