Don't "get smart" and sign
the title of property over
to a friend or relative just
before filing bankruptcy.
Doing so does not leave it
out, is considered fraud.
and may result in the
person to whom it was
transferred losing the
property later.
Don't "get smart" and max
out any still-working credit
cards just before you file
for bankruptcy. Card
charges and cash
advances and loans
occurring within 90 days
before filing are presumed
to be fraud and you may
still owe those charges.
"When I tell a person they have to do credit counseling before filing bankruptcy,
the initial reaction is one of alarm or disappointment. . Honestly, the counseling
simply involves answering some questions and doing a budget, which takes an
hour of their time at a computer." - Joel K. Mitchell, Attorney-at-Law
GATHERING DOCUMENTS
FULL DISCLOSURE
Most of our clients have expressed that the
most difficult part of filing bankruptcy is
gathering the documents necessary for
disclosure and our preparation of the
paperwork. What we emphasize is that we
are required to disclose some of these
documents and nearly all of them are used
in the preparation of the bankruptcy
petition, schedules, and statements.
Going into it, most clients fear the credit counseling, but then realize that it is a breeze consisting of a session of a little more than an hour of their time two different times, once just before their bankruptcy case is filed and again shortly afterward.
If you have lost your Social Security Card, we need you to order a new one. For info on how, click here. If you think you know where it is, look to make sure. We must get a copy of it before we file your case.

Don't fail to tell us about the paid-for boat in
your back yard or truck you just signed over
to Uncle Bob. The Bankruptcy Court will be
looking for last-minute shady transactions.
Such transactions may or may not affect
your bankruptcy case, but your failure to
disclose them to your attorney may very well
doom your case and result in its dismissal
and may negatively impact whomever was
involved in the transactions with you.

What Some of Our Clients Have Said
About Preparing for Bankruptcy
I wonder if this is what it
feels like to get audited.

they're not filing.

That credit counseling
was no big deal. I
thought they would try to
talk me out of filing, but
they didn't.
