Do I have to hire an attorney to guide me through the bankruptcy process in NYS?
There are several reasons why proceeding without a bankruptcy attorney is just about the worst decision you can make. Just some of those reasons are as follows:
- Your home and other assets are at stake. Rather obviously, if you’re considering filing for bankruptcy, you’re at risk of losing what you have. However, a proper bankruptcy filing can set you free, and allow you to keep your home and much of what you own. A strong attorney can make all the difference between getting to keep your home and not.
- You need to choose the right type of bankruptcy. Here in New York State, there are various types of bankruptcy, and you need to know which one is right for you. You can choose from Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, Chapter 13, and Chapter 15 bankruptcy. There are a lot of options on the table, but only one will best suit your financial situation. Our firm can help ensure you make the right choice.
- Only a bankruptcy attorney knows the ins and outs of the Bankruptcy Court, as well as how to deal with lenders. Lenders care more about getting their money than they do your well-being.
