Is there a time limit from time of retaining lawyer and filing? Is there help with the filing cost?
Time limit- no just practicality. In regards to cost many people don’t need to file bankruptcy- at least right away. They don’t make enough money, or the creditors are not suing them, or any number of other reasons. This gives them time to raise the money to file the case. For people that are being harassed by creditors when we are retained for $200 they may refer their creditors to our office. The laws says they must then stop communicating with you. Also it is always free to talk with us about your options. I am sure you will be fine. I filed for bankruptcy in October of 2002, your firm represented my husband and myself. I have since been divorced, had a home foreclosed on , had vehicles repossessed, have 15,000.00 in credit card debt due to the divorce. I would like to to get out from under all of this including a second mortgage of $40,000.00 that the company is still trying to collect. I need some advice on what to do. Your firm was great to work with that is why I am coming back.
