Chapter 7 BankruptcyHattiesburg and Brookhaven Chapter 7 Bankruptcy LawyerBack in 2005, bankruptcy attorneys were taking to the airwaves, begging for clients to come in before changes in the law were enacted in October of that year. People needing to file bankruptcy believed that the law would change and they would never again be able to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Many still believe it, and they are wrong. At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, serving clients in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, Mississippi, we continue to help our clients file Chapter 7 bankruptcy to get them out from under their debt. Since the laws have changed, 85% of the cases that we handle at the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, still qualify based on the median income for the state of Mississippi. In essence, these cases are completely unaffected by the new Chapter 7 bankruptcy laws. Debt counseling is a requirement for Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings, but once that is completed, the filer will have credit card debt and other financial obligations discharged. Filing bankruptcy can be an unsettling and embarrassing step to take in your life. However, it may be your only option to eliminate debt and the stress associated with it. Fears of defaulting on your mortgage, having your house foreclosed upon, being forced to move, and uprooting your kids to a new school district can discourage you. At our firm, your attorney will handle your case with discretion and efficiency so you can move on from this part of your life.
