Hampton Roads Bankruptcy Attorneys

For people deep in debt, the hardest part of filing bankruptcy is deciding to begin the process. Considering filing bankruptcy causes anxiety over how the process works, what costs are involved, and the short and long term consequences.  Bankruptcy should be filed after every other legitimate alternative has failed; it is an option for a fresh start.  

We all face problems and obstacles every day, large and small. Problem debts can become a painful day-to-day burden. After a bankruptcy is filed, a person can give creditors and collections agencies the bankruptcy case number, name and number of our law firm, and tell them goodbye.

Everyone needs income, whether employment, retirement or Social Security.   We also need shelter, food, clothing, warmth in winter and comfort in summer, as well as dependable transportation.  Those are the basic needs everyone must meet in order to survive in the modern world.

A person who is facing one or more of the following circumstances may need the fresh start a bankruptcy can provide:

• » Wages are being seized
• » Foreclosure or vehicle repossession is threatened
• » Bank accounts are frozen
• » Court proceedings are pending
• » Significant debts cannot be repaid

Don't be like the person who bought a book about procrastination, but kept putting off reading it. The time to act is now. When there is a hill to climb, don’t think that by waiting the hill will get smaller. Ben Franklin once said, "You may delay, but time will not."  That is never more true than for the relationship an individual has with his or her finances.

Bankruptcy stops foreclosure auctioneers right in their tracks.

Bankruptcy wards off repo men, even the threatening ones who appear on television.  Immediate action may result in reclaiming a vehicle, even after repossession.

Bankruptcy stops court collections.  Anyone who has been served civil court garnishment papers should contact a bankruptcy attorney as soon as possible.

Bankruptcy stops constant phone calls, harassing letters and the embarrassment of self-righteous collectors contacting friends, neighbors, employers and relatives.  All this comes to an abrupt end as soon as the creditor sees or hears the case number.
