- Q. We are thinking of filing bankruptcy, one lawyer wanted to charge $4k, how can I find a more affordable option to file?
- A: Shop around. There are many competitive prices available from qualified attorneys who offer free consultations.
- Q. Do I need a bankruptcy lawyer
- A: I agree that a police report is often the best course of action to demonstrate to the creditor(s) that you are not conspiring with the person who accessed your credit. Your decision how to proceed may depend on who stole your identity. It isn’t unusual for a relative or significant other of the victim to perpetrate identity theft to access credit. In these instances the victims of identity theft often seeks counsel from an attorney to determine all options to resolve the credit card debt, including those that don’t cause the perpetrator to face potential criminal charges.
- Q. I’m married & live in southern california & was planing to file chapter 13 separate from my husband, but now its a mess!
- A: You haven't provided any facts that suggest there is a need to file within the next 90 days. Best to get a free consultation to determine your potential eligibility for chapter 7 and the best timing for the filing of your case. Most attorneys offer a free limited telephone consultation.
