BANKRUPTCY CAN GIVE YOU THE FRESH START YOU DESERVE.
Too many Montana Residents are silently battling the burden of overdue debt. As a bankruptcy lawyer, I have heard the same story time and time again.
There is no money left at the end of the month. Your credit cards are maxed out from paying living expenses and you are afraid to check the mail or answer your phone. There is a lien on your bank account and your wages are being garnished. You are arguing with your spouse, you feel constant anxiety and you are unable to sleep. The cycle can and must be broken.
Bankruptcy is nothing to be ashamed of.
Your financial freedom is on the horizon and you have made the decision to begin a new journey. Feel empowered and be proud that you are taking the necessary steps to get out of debt, secure your financial future and get back peace of mind.
I am a Bozeman bankruptcy lawyer. I proudly help residents of Bozeman, Montana get out of debt and file for bankruptcy. Serving residents of Gallatin, Madison and Park Counties as well as all surrounding areas.
Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel for those yoked with oppressive student loan debt?
By choosing to be a bankruptcy lawyer, I conscientiously opted out of being a family lawyer. When I embarked on this journey to help people with their debt, I did not realize how much of an impact I could have on people’s personal relationships.
Eleven years into my legal career, I look back and remember a specific case I handled many years ago.
During the evolution of this seemingly “standard” chapter 7 bankruptcy case, I was introduced to “phantom payments” and to this day, I am still haunted by it.
In our modern, western culture, we use the symbol of a scale to define justice. This scale represents the importance we place on balance and equity in our legal system.
Unfortunately, way back in 2005 the attempt to balance that scale may have caused it to tip too far and topple.
As an attorney, I want to make sure that there are no surprises and the same goes for you, the debtor.
In bankruptcy, when surprises pop up, there is usually a problem.
The decision to (or not to) file bankruptcy, which could be a life changing one, should not be made based on the advice of an ill informed family member, friend, coworker or "expert" on social media.
There is no secret that if you are meeting with me, you are experiencing some level of financial hardship.
Most people view bankruptcy as a last resort. I wish this wasn’t the case as years of suffering and monies lost to excessive interest could easily be avoided if we switch our perspective.
