The principal purpose of the Bankruptcy Code is to grant a “fresh start to the honest but unfortunate debtor.”— United States Supreme Court
Perhaps you lost your job, had unexpected medical bills, or simply found that making ends meet caught up with you. If so, we have a solution. The United States Bankruptcy Code was designed to assist the honest but unfortunate debtor who cannot meet his or her financial obligations with a fresh start.
While some people think there is a “stigma” to filing bankruptcy, or that it isn't the “right thing” to do, let us assure you that is not the case. Many people and companies who were suffering have crawled out from overwhelming financial burdens by availing themselves of the protections of the Bankruptcy Code. In fact, GM, Chrysler, Kmart, Greektown Casino, and the City of Detroit all successfully emerged from bankruptcy. You can too.
We are not your typical bankruptcy attorneys. The Metro Detroit Bankruptcy Law Group prides itself on taking a holistic approach to analyzing your financial needs before starting a bankruptcy case. Prior to filing, we will meet with you, review your overall financial picture, and then strategize a road back to financial health — which may or may not include a bankruptcy case. This is an important step, because without a strategic plan you risk losing assets you didn't think about, or having your non-filing spouse get sued over joint assets such as your house.
While bankruptcy may seem easy, it is important to hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney to plan your case so you can avoid the traps and pitfalls that may prevent you from obtaining your discharge. Too many times, we've met debtors who came to us too late — after going to a bankruptcy “mill” that filed a Chapter 7 without a strategic plan, sometimes causing people to unnecessarily lose their homes or the equity in them.
