Should I file for bankruptcy if I cannot pay attorney fees? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The decision to file bankruptcy is not one that is easy to make. The paperwork alone is over 40 pages long and requires complicated mathematical calculations. How good are you at math? Most attorneys, CPA's and other professionals that file bankruptcy (and many do have to file bankruptcy as well) chose to hire a bankruptcy attorney to represent them because they see bankruptcy as being too hard to do on their own, but you may be the exception. Since all your assets will be at risk if you make a mistake, hope you don't have to learn the hard way.

Can put a lien on someone’s property that I paid the property tax for to get paid?

Christopher J. Kane
Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
You cannot place a lien on that person's property unless they consent to it. The homeowner would have to sign a trust deed over to you in order for you to obtain a lien on their property.

How does one stop wage garnishment?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
First things first: consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. It's almost always worth the investment. Bankruptcy is supposed to stop wage garnishments immediately but it helps to see that your payroll office, the small claims court or whichever branch handles garnishments, and the creditor are given notice of the bankruptcy filing immediately upon filing, since the courts can take four or five days to send out notice. You could also try to contact each of the creditors and see if you can work out some kind of installment payment arrangement, or a discount, or both. It's hard to convince an array of creditors to accept such agreements, but you can try. Good Luck.
