Whether you need a bankruptcy creditor lawyer or a bankruptcy debtor lawyer, Drescher & Associates has you covered. However, we want you to understand some of the situations you may need to know before you move into bankruptcy. For example:

  • A strict financial means test is now required that will prohibit many debtors from filing a liquidation bankruptcy under Chapter 7;
  • Debtors must now receive a briefing from an approved credit counseling agency at least six months before they can file their bankruptcy case;
  • Debtors must take an approved class on debt management techniques before they receive their bankruptcy discharge;
  • A provision now makes it easier for a court to dismiss a bankruptcy case outright or to convert a Chapter 7 case to a Chapter 13 case; and
  • A provision now permits a court to impose sanctions on bankruptcy attorneys, or even on debtors, for filing a Chapter 7 case that is dismissed or converted to a Chapter 13 case.

There are more bankruptcy resources in this website that you may need to know, but we want you to pick up that phone and call Drescher & Associates to speak with a real bankruptcy lawyer who can explain these very important legal options to you.
