Taking The Shame And Judgment Out Of Bankruptcy

Most Americans have debt — our economy seems to be based on it. The differences between someone who can pay back their debts and someone who must file for bankruptcy are smaller than you may think. In many cases, unforeseeable circumstances are to blame.

The leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States is medical debt. Even if you have health insurance, a single medical emergency or serious illness can lead to financial ruin. An economic downturn or job loss can also lead to or exacerbate a financially unsustainable situation.

Contrary to the misconceptions that linger, there is no shame in filing for bankruptcy. It is a valid legal tool for discharging or reorganizing overwhelming debt and getting your finances back on track.

What Are Your Personal Bankruptcy Options?

At Miller Flannery Law LLC, we can help you determine if bankruptcy is right for you, and if so, which kind of bankruptcy is most appropriate. In most cases, personal bankruptcy is filed in one of two ways:

How We Can Help With Asset Protection

Most people filing for bankruptcy are concerned about losing their most important assets, including their vehicle, their home and valuable family heirlooms. Thankfully, these losses can often be avoided.

When you call the experienced lawyers at Miller Flannery Law LLC, we will take the time to learn about your highest priorities and address your questions and concerns. We will then work with you on the strategy that is most likely to bring appropriate debt relief while avoiding or minimizing asset losses.

Relief For Certain Small-Business Owners

While our firm focuses primarily on personal bankruptcy (rather than business bankruptcy), there are times when the two are essentially the same. If your small business is set up as a sole proprietorship or another structure without limited liability protection, we can guide you through the bankruptcy process in much the same manner as a personal bankruptcy.
