Sarasota Bankruptcy Attorney

Helping Clients Secure a Fresh Start

While it generally should be a last resort, several times bankruptcy is the only option, and in the face of foreclosure, repossession, garnished wages, or more, waiting is a dangerous game to play. 

This is all the more reason to seek professional advice quickly when you are confronted with:

  • Foreclosure
  • Repossessed cars
  • Large medical bills
  • Loss of employment
  • Persistent or unfair creditors
  • Utilities being shut off
  • Wage garnishment

Filing for bankruptcy may help or prevent the above situations. This process can make life much easier to handle, it may also give you the opportunity for a fresh start. However, due to the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is harder than ever. Finding the right bankruptcy law firm to have in your corner will be extremely helpful. A Sarasota bankruptcy attorney will help you navigate through the difficult bankruptcy process with ease. Having the right attorney on your side is more important than ever.

Call us at (941) 413-2096 to schedule your initial consultation. We proudly serve clients in Bradenton, Manatee County, and Sarasota County.

Our Process

We try our best to make the process as simple and painless as possible, treating each case with the delicacy and understanding it needs. To do this, we first get to know you and your situation and see if there are other options available to you.

It is important for you to understand that bankruptcy is not a failure or a cop-out. Instead, we see it as a proactive advance toward a new start. There is a reason that there is a provision for it in the law, and we understand that it can be a necessary step in many cases.

When you come in for your consultation, we request that you bring in your records relating to your expenses and income. With this information, we will draw up a petition that you will sign and we will file with the court.

After the court has reviewed your case, it will assign you a trustee who will see you personally, then if everything goes well, the court orders a discharge once you’ve completed a debtor course where you will learn about finances. With both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, you will have to meet with your creditors, but then your debts are discharged, giving you a clean slate. Your credit rating and relationship with your creditors will ultimately improve and you can start new.
