REPRESENTATION WITH DIGNITY
BOARD CERTIFIED BUSINESS BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY
The bankruptcy laws are in place to provide businesses and consumers an opportunity to reorganize or discharge their debt and get a fresh start. In the majority of bankruptcy cases, people often find themselves overwhelmed with debt due to unforeseen circumstances.
In business cases, it may be that your company geared up in anticipation of a business contract that never appeared, or you were under a contract to supply a business with certain products at a fixed cost and your material costs went up substantially. For consumers, you or a family member may have incurred unforeseen medical expenses, or you could be financially suffering due to one income producer getting laid off.
At Buddy D. Ford, P.A., we don't believe that filing bankruptcy is anything to be ashamed of. We are here to assist you in obtaining debt relief with the dignity, respect, and professionalism you deserve. We can help stop collection calls and work hard for your asset protection.
The new bankruptcy laws taking effect on October 17, 2005, will require consumers to seek credit counseling in conjunction with filing bankruptcy. In addition, the new laws will make it more difficult to file some types of bankruptcy and also make the process more cumbersome. It is important that your bankruptcy attorney be familiar with the bankruptcy rules, the rules of procedure, the state exemptions, and other areas of the law that, either impact bankruptcy or are impacted by bankruptcy. At Buddy D. Ford, P.A., our bankruptcy lawyers have extensive experience.
