Should I hire a bankruptcy attorney or can I file bankruptcy myself? It's a logical question because the truth is, you're struggling financially and you would like to keep your money if possible. So, what should you? The quick answer is the U.S. Bankruptcy Court strongly recommends individuals hire a competent attorney rather than represent themselves.
Bankruptcy is a legal process to assist individuals and businesses with debt problems. Qualifying debtors can either eliminate certain types of debt or repay their debt under the court approved repayment plans. The concept of bankruptcy law is deeply rooted in our American system and even written into our U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8.
A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can eliminate your debt and offer you a truly fresh start. Many good people are struggling through bad times right now, usually due to unforeseen events such as unemployment, illness, or some other hardship. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, also known as the Liquidation or Straight Bankruptcy, is the most common type of bankruptcy filed.
If you are behind on your mortgage, car payments or other debt, sometimes a little extra time is all you need to get back on track. Speak to a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney today to discuss your options.
Chapter 13, also known as a wage earner bankruptcy, is designed to help people with regular income keep their home, cars, and other non-exempt property, all while giving them the essential time to repay a portion of their debt, interest free and without late fees and penalties.Filing Chapter 13 enters you into the Bankruptcy Court's supervised repayment program.

This is one the most frequent questions we get asked. We live in the Google age where online resources are just a few clicks away, but more often than not, most people usually end up with more questions than answers. In truth, if you're considering bankruptcy you should call us for a free consultation with a skilled bankruptcy attorney and discuss your individual concerns.

I recently went through bankruptcy. Filed jointly with my husband. I was very nervous, we've never done bankruptcy before so we had no clue how things worked. I'm glad they were the first ones I called. The entire staff was great. Our lawyer was friendly and knowledgeable. The staff always answered my questions via phone, email and text. Cecilia Sanchez the office Paralegal always answered my questions and responded rapidly and made sure everything went smooth, very knowledgeable as well. The day of our hearing I was so nervous but it was a piece of cake, our lawyer was there and was

Like so many people, the past year and a half has been very difficult for my family and I. We went through a lot of changes and I found myself collecting more and more debt. Finally I decided to do something about it and I reached out to Paul and he immediately made me feel comfortable. I was very nervous as I have never filed for bankruptcy before and I never thought I would need to. The process was very smooth and his office staff is fantastic, especially Cecelia. She basically held my hand through the process and was always just a call or text away. Thanks everyone!

Had my BK done in August of 2020 and finally getting to posting my review of my experience with Paul Lee and his staff. I had a more difficult case because of my businesses closing but Paul was very reassuring and confident that we could get my case resolved. Though I was very stressed and frustrated by my situation, Paul and his crew (especially Kaytlin) worked with me to get my BK resolved as quickly as possible. Though it took a hit initially, my credit score is currently back up to 725! I would HIGHLY recommend Paul and his team to anyone in a similar predicament. Thanks to Paul and his fantastic

I went with Paul Lee because of their track record and I'm glad I did. I ended up filing ch. 7 even in the pandemic I felt very taken care of, by him and his professional team.

I cannot thank Paul and his team ENOUGH! I had many difficulties going into 2021. Unanswered Questions and many concerns. Unfortunately I was one of the many people affected by covid financially. However, Paul did his absolute best for me. Whenever I had any concerns Paul and his team would alleviate me of any issues or doubt I may have had and always made sure my questions were answered. At first the filing process was seemed difficult for me, but the team was there to lead me every step of the way until the day of my meeting. Paul will be there for you with utmost care and make sure you have

As an older, single woman, I was very hesitant about filing for bankruptcy, but Paul Lee helped me tremendously. I appreciated his expert advice and timely responses to any questions I had. As my hearing approached, his videos eased my mind so that the hearing went quite smoothly. I highly recommend Paul Lee and his staff.

Let me tell you, Paul is top notch at what he does and if you have any hesitations about filing bankruptcy, come see this guy! He put me at ease in going through all the details with my BK case and I couldn't have felt any more reassured of my situation. Paul made the whole process smooth and seamless, totally what I had not expected. I appreciate all the hard work and effort that Paul and his staff had put in to resolve my case. Please express my gratitude to your girls in the office that have helped me. I feel like such a burden had been lifted off of me and I can breathe again. Thank

Paul and his staff made our experience the absolute best. From the very beginning they were kind and caring to hear our experience of what lead us to our decision to declare bankruptcy. They offered a ton of information on how the process would work and what would happen along the way. Paul and his staff were always quick to answer any questions we had with accurate information in a timely manner. You can tell they have a general concern and care for their clients.

What a crazy year 2020 has been.
My husband and I made the decision to file for bankruptcy around early March of 2020. We were on the fence but we felt like it was the only surviving option for us at the time. My husband wasn't hadn't been dispatched any loads that previous month and so we were seeing a huge financial deficit... when we visited Paul's offices, we were really only going for a consultation. But we ended up walking out of there initiating the process. It was really that fast. We followed up by sending over paperwork and the counseling classes, but we were given a

Paul and his team are with you every step of the way! First, they really help calm your anxieties. The staff make themselves available via text messaging during those times when communication is crucial, alerting you quickly when information is available or they need something.
Paul is very caring and will listen to your situation without any judgement. He will evaluate your case and be very clear and honest about what options are available to you. If you have an unusual case, like me, then he will walk through all of the complexities with you and look for how to best address each issue in

This is a whole hearted recommendation for attorney Paul Y. Lee. Through the expertise of Mr. Lee, my husband and I were recently able to successfully complete a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Although my finances were fairly straightforward, my husband owns his own business which required a great deal of detail and precision in calculating the requirements for making the bankruptcy a success. Paul and his staff were the consummate professionals. Our particular circumstance involved many changes along the way. Paul was accessible and supportive throughout the entire process. This is not a desirable situation
