We have a small firm feel with the resources of a large firm. The sting of overwhelming debt and the dread of ruined credit are, understandably, deterrents to a bankruptcy filing. But don’t let those fears prevent you from taking advantage of the financial protection offered by bankruptcy, which may allow you to erase most of your consumer debt while preserving assets like your retirement accounts and in most cases even your home and car. One common misunderstanding is that declaring bankruptcy will ruin your credit. If you’re at the point of considering bankruptcy, it’s likely that your credit is already distressed. Oftentimes, your credit could emerge in better shape once we’ve dealt with your debts.
