Should You File for Bankruptcy in Monroe NY?

Bankruptcy isn’t the right choice for every financial situation. The federal bankruptcy laws restrict eligibility for bankruptcy to specific individuals and entities, and thereby preclude some people from filing for bankruptcy at all. These eligibility requirements are distinct for Chapter 7 bankruptcy versus Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Plus, the objective considerations aren’t the only factors to keep in mind.

As one of Monroe NY’s most trusted bankruptcy law firms, Simon Haysom, LLC looks closely at the details of your finances, before recommending a path to a stronger financial future. Before recommending bankruptcy, a Monroe lawyer will want to know:

• Your employment circumstances and anticipated income;
• The total amount of debt owed to all creditors;
• The number of outstanding and overdue payments;
• If your inability to repay debts is temporary or long-term; and
• What assets you posses and their value.

Only after this evaluation does a firm like Simon Haysom, LLC provide a client with advice. Whether bankruptcy is the most effective solution for you or not, we can help you work through financial difficulty.  

Why Hire a Monroe NY Bankruptcy Lawyer?

The 2005 Bankruptcy Act is a federal statute. This means that most of the bankruptcy process is governed by federal law and a national legal standard. This does not mean that any lawyer in the country could or should handle your bankruptcy case.

Some aspects of bankruptcy are particular to NY.  Most important among these factors is the list of exempt property. Exempt property is those assets that you can keep during a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, and this list is set by the state. Only an NY lawyer would be intimately and specifically familiar with NY’s exemption law.

Hiring a local, Monroe NY bankruptcy lawyer could be crucial to your case. Throughout, the bankruptcy process, there are substantial benefits, including:

• Knowledge of the judge’s preferences and partialities;
• Better accessibility to your lawyer and the law offices;
• Improved reliability and dependability in communication;
• Bigger investment in the outcome of your individual case; and
• Better client management and more in-person meetings with your lawyer.
