Planning your bankruptcy is legal
We PLAN your bankruptcy from start to finish. We are hired to be your advocate
instead of simply pushing you through the process. Please contact our firm if
and when you start to contemplate bankruptcy as an option. The more time we
have to work with you prior to a possible bankruptcy filing, the greater your
advantages.
Go to a website that provides the information that you need without trying to sell you something. I recommend the United States Bankruptcy Court GOVERNMENT website. Make sure you go to your own DISTRICT. For example, for the Western District of Pennsylvania go to

KNOW your exemptions. You are allowed to keep most of your personal and business-related property. But there a limits. Know your limits. There is no reason to falsify information to the FEDERAL government, when filing your case. It is against the law and can have serious consequences. Simply look at the FEDERAL CODE and determine what and how much you can protect under the code. You will be pleasantly surprised. The code is here to protect YOU. It was created to give you a "fresh start" so that one day, you too, can be a productive citizen paying into the system opposed to being dragged down. Let our federal system help you be successful. One step at a time.
11 U.S. Code Section 522. Exemptions
AND if these Exemptions do not work for your current financial situation, each STATE has their own list of EXEMPTIONS that you are entitled to, as a resident (see residential requirement for each State).
Working with Linda J. Hoffman, Esquire. I pay for a convenient website that allows you to work at your own pace to fill in online forms, required it initiate your case. See Bankruptcy-Basics, above, for more information. Keep in mind that receiving the government support, helping you to be release from debt that you had contracted to pay takes time and effort. YOU need to provide that information. I will try to make it reasonably "easy" for you but YOU need to show the government, through your official documentation what debt that you are requesting relief from and that YOU qualify for this relief. PLAN to put in some time before the initial filing. It is advised to be careful since carelessness can cost you more money for the filing and delays.
