You Can Still File for Bankruptcy
When the bankruptcy code was significantly overhauled in 2005, many people were led to believe they could not longer file for bankruptcy — this is not true. While you may have to file for Chapter 13 rather than Chapter 7 due to income or other factors, we can still help you file for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy and Good Credit are Compatible
As consumers become more educated and concerned about their credit scores, people have come to believe that bankruptcy will ruin their credit rating. In fact, filing for bankruptcy can actually improve your credit score over time. While it will hurt you initially and remain on your record for seven to ten years, it will begin to help your credit rating as a result of ending your legal obligation to repay the debts in question.
Your Employer Will Not Be Notified
Many people worry about their reputation at work taking a hit if their employer finds out about bankruptcy. Bankruptcy filings are public record and your employer could find out about your bankruptcy if they specifically choose to look for it. But chances are your employer will not take the time to specifically single you out and do a search for your bankruptcy filing.
