BANKRUPTCY LAWYER

“PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU CAN’T FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY SINCE THE LAW WAS CHANGED.

THAT IS FALSE.

BANKRUPTCY IS STILL AN OPTION FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH DEBT.”

-Byron M. Richardson

You can stop the harassing phone calls. You can keep creditors from repossessing your car. You can keep your home.

While the law did change in 2005, filing for bankruptcy is still an option for good people that are overwhelmed with substantial debt that they cannot repay.

The changes in the law do make it more time consuming to file for bankruptcy, but you can still get most of the same protections in the new law that you could receive under the old law. Honest, hardworking people need a second chance. You should only decide to file for bankruptcy after speaking with an attorney that can review your situation and determine that bankruptcy is right for you. I offer that conversation to you for free.

Such laws may also apply to boating or piloting aircraft.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Attorney General Troy King has decided not to appeal a court decision that a fourth DUI conviction rises to a felony only if it occurred in a five-year period. Instead, he will ask the Legislature to toughen the drunken driving law.
