Many people are struggling financially today. Consumers frequently consult with a bankruptcy attorney when they experience financial problems, and they do not know how to handle them. Counsel can assist them by discussing both Chapter 7 bankruptcy and alternative options they may want to consider.

Many consumers do not want to file bankruptcy, even if they meet the requirements. They may be concerned about how bankruptcy will affect their credit score -which affects their ability to purchase a car, rent an apartment, or qualify for a home mortgage in the future. They may believe that their debts are manageable with some assistance from their creditors.
