Is Bankruptcy Right for Me?

If you are facing overwhelming debt, foreclosure, creditor harassment or the myriad of other problems that come with accumulating too much debt and being unable to keep up, bankruptcy may be something that you are considering. Of course, bankruptcy is not the right answer for everyone. That is why we recommend that you talk to a lawyer at our Long Island law firm to find out more about your particular options and exactly how bankruptcy may affect you.

For example, there may be successful alternatives that will help you consolidate debt or work out another solution that does not involve you resorting to bankruptcy. You may also need to determine whether a Chapter 7 liquidation or Chapter 13 reorganization will be right for you, what effects filing for bankruptcy will have on foreclosure, repossession and wage garnishment, and how this will affect your credit.

Bankruptcy is an important part of our legal system. It offers debtors the opportunity to get out of debt; to get a fresh financial start. However, there are specific advantages and disadvantages that should be discussed before making an important decision of this kind.
