Who files for Bankruptcy in Dallas and surrounding areas?
We have divided those people who file for bankruptcy into three categories based on our ample experience as bankruptcy practitioners. We have filed thousands of cases over the years, and people tend to file because of
- Reduction of Income
- Medical Illness and
- Deceptive Lending Practices
Category one is comprised of people who have had a loss of income due to various factors, including loss of job, reduction of income, death or other tragedy. The way that most people live today is paycheck to paycheck. If you do not have six months of living expenses set aside then you could face losing your home or car. Bankruptcy is designed for people precisely in this situation to avoid the loss of property and everything that they have worked for.If this sounds familiar, fill out our 
form for more information.
Category two is comprised of people who have had a severe medical illness. Most people do not have medical insurance and are forced to use credit cards to finance medical bills. If an unexpected medical issue arises it can be very devastating for you financially. Using credit cards to finance medical bills is a leading cause of filing bankruptcy. If this is you, please fill out our form to obtain more information.
Category three is deceptive lending practices. Credit card companies fill your mailbox every day with credit card applications and checks to get loans. Buried in the fine print is the sad truth that interest rates are astronomical and they won't work with you if you get behind. No one wants to file bankruptcy and every one wants to pay their creditors. When credit card companies are only interested in filling their own pockets, people have to file bankruptcy. Credit card companies don't offer you relief from your debt. They apply payments to interest first and tack on outrageous fees. You are constantly going in circles and not getting anywhere trying to pay down your debt. By filling out our form we can provide you with information specific to your situation.
