Georgia Bankruptcy Attorneys Answer Your Most Important Questions

Most visitors come to our site with 2 very important questions:

1. Is filing bankruptcy the right option for me?
2. Which law firm is the best one to hire for my Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy filing?

This page will help answer those questions.

Generally speaking, Georgia bankruptcy can be the right option for a person if they have no realistic way of paying the people or companies they owe money to. Sometimes this situation is the result of finances slowly getting out of control over time. Many of the clients we represent, however, have also experienced a life-changing event that makes it difficult or impossible to pay their creditors. If any of the below has happened to you or your family, you are in the same situation as many of the people our Georgia bankruptcy lawyers help on a daily basis, and we can help you.

• You lost your job.
• You recently divorced, or ended a relationship where your significant other helped pay the bills.
• You suffered an injury in an accident or at work.
• You have been diagnosed with an illness, and have significant medical expenses.
• Your home mortgage adjusted and you now have a much higher monthly payment.
• Your small business became insolvent.
• You lost a lawsuit or are being sued for large sums of money.
• You are now responsible for providing financial support for additional dependents, such as children or elderly parents.
• You suffer from an addition to gambling, alcohol, drugs or shopping.

Regardless of the cause of your financial problems, Federal Bankruptcy Protection laws provide a way for you to obtain a fresh start. Of course, the only real way to determine if filing Chapter 13 or 7 is right for you is to meet with an experienced Atlanta bankruptcy attorney, fully explain your specific situation, and have them advise you as to the best option. That brings us to the second question:

Which Atlanta bankruptcy attorney is the best one for you to hire?

Like many important life decisions, hiring the right Atlanta bankruptcy lawyer depends on many factors. Some of those are specific to you, such as the complexity of your financial situation, whether you owned a small business, your spouse’s debts, employment income you receive, and how long ago you filed for bankruptcy. Georgia residents also look for other factors when choosing a firm, such as the firm's size, legal knowledge and years of experience, reputation in the local courts where your case will be handled, proximity of the law firm office to your home or workplace, and the firm’s commitment to personal service. How important each of these factors is to a particular client will vary.
