Im looking for a bankruptcy lawyer in Phoenix AZ. I need help filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy. I’m looking for a payment plan to satisfy my creditors because im getting harrassed for late payments.
Has anyone herd of this Bankruptcy lAW FIRM IN Orange County www.oc-bankruptcylaw.com ? Im looking for a good bankruptcy lawyer and suggestions?
I have bachelor of science in mathematics and I could not get any job since graduation. Due to my inability to get job, I had to file chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. I noticed the bankruptcy lawyer’s office was flooded with clients. There were like 37 to 40 people sitting in the lawyer office lobby to wait for their consultation. The bankruptcy lawyer told me "its been very stressful with so many clients. I am sorry for making you wait this much". He charges 1800 dollars per clients. And since there were about 40 in lobby, that’s an income of 72000 dollars already. And the consultation fees is 350 dollars for the first time meeting. Having seen this I get motivation to become bankruptcy lawyer myself and open my own law office. Because of poor economy I will surely get lot of people who want to file bankruptcy. And since I have bachelor of science in math I already meet whatever pre-requisites are required to enter law school. Moreover, my bankruptcy attorney graduated from my own university law school. So what more do I have to do now after BS in math to become chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer? I will file chapter 7’s for all the broke and poor people in the town
Also i have an interview with a bankruptcy lawyer tomorrow, what kind of questions should i ask him.
I need help trying to find a lawyer that will file a suit against my bankruptcy lawyer.He never did his job properly and now ive still got old bills hanging over my head.Their is no one in this area that will touch it.I live in Indiana.Please help if you can.
How much does it cost to hire a bankruptcy lawyer for chapter 7 in Southern California?
please don’t scold me for having so much debt or being financially responsible. Whats done is done. Only the present and future advise i need now.
I can’t find job. It is very hard. Even though i have bachelor degree in math, i can only get .50 an hour which is nothing to fight the ,000 unsecured debt.
I defaulted on my payments since february 2009. The .50 hour an job — almost all of it goes on cell phone bill, broadband bill, car gasoline, dog food and dog vetreneary expenses (i have 2 large dogs).
I get 100’s of phone calls by harassing creditors. I no longer pick up the phone. I can never raise 00 for bankruptcy lawyer in such poor financial situation. My interest rate has hiked to 36% APR and i keep getting slapped with more and more fees of interest and penalties. I QUIT!
What will the creditors do to me now? there is not 1 single asset i own, except for my 2 beloved dogs.
Will creditors send me to jail? how will this situation end?
Please advise. I see no end to this at all as long as job market is stagnated.
.50 an hour job is as good as being unemployed. right?
Got a letter advertising for a bankruptcy lawyer saying I’m being sued by a creditor. The credit hasn’t sent me anything about being sued and nothing is showing up on public records. Does this sound like a scam?
i had ,000 credit card debt and ,000 medical bills. They were unsecured debts and i filed chapter 7 protection. Now who will cover my ,000 bills? will BOFA, citi, wells fargo etc etc write it as loss or will they increase interest rates on those who pay bills on time or will government give them bail out?
Also my ,000 emergency surgery bill — who will pay that now? hospital depends on patient bill payment to pay the employees. Does that mean some employees will be laid off because i didn’t pay?
The bankruptcy lawyer wasn’t interested in answering such questions
I am working with a bankruptcy lawyer?? He is inexpensive, but he is asking me to pay the whole 00 before we have a meeting and go to court. Is this normal. I thought I would pay half and the rest after it is over with… How do I know if this is legit. I already gave him 0.
I realize I am filing bankruptcy but I have always been told never to pay the full amount of anything up front cause you can’t be sure you will be served.. Help to find out..
I have been sick over a year. I have been battling it out with social security and have not received any income since my illness. I do not own any property, not even a car. It got repossessed during my illness. I had to break my lease and stop paying my credit cards. My total debt is around 80K. My credit is devastated. I found out my former landlord intends on getting a judgement. I have no money, but am allowed to live for free right now because of my parents. I’m 26. I went to law school for 2 years before I got sick. I bought a NOLO book on bankruptcy, but it seems like the process is stressful and confusing. I don’t have the money to hire an attorney. Nobody else has tried to sue me yet. My family said they would pay up to 2K for a bankruptcy lawyer as like a birthday/christmas present, but I feel bad because they have already been paying for so much (my medical bills, me living in their house). Should I file this myself, wait, or get the attorney? There is no way I can pay all these people back at this point.
Oh I have a free consultation on Monday.
I was trying to find a reasonable bankruptcy lawyer in corona, ca that was reliable and good.
the bankruptcy lawyer told me that i should refer all creditor calls to him and i’m not supposed to tell anything else to the creditor. I told this to the creditor several times, but he keeps asking me only one question –
"how will you pay? you must pay it"
I told them, "i will not pay anything as i have a bankruptcy lawyer and you contact him"
he stubbornly responds,
"this is an attempt to collect a debt and you must pay. How will you pay — credit card, check or money order. Again i repeat you must pay"
i said, "did you call my bankruptcy lawyer? why don’t you"
he stubbornly says, "you have no lawyer, so don’t make excuses and we will continue calling till you make payment. so once again i repeat you must pay and how would you pay?"
i hung up the phone on them. what to do? bankruptcy lawyer says he never ever received any call from such creditor whatsoever.
To whom it may concern
Here is a summary of the case:
I am a father of two children who are now 19 and 20 years old. I used to live in California. Now I live in Maryland since May 2008. During the divorce in 1992, the nightmare started with a family support order that was found to be fraudulent by the Federal Bankruptcy Court.
I was imprisoned for 35 days based on this fraudulent order and based on the DA of the County of Santa Clara California (DA hereinafter) , who testified that I was making ,000 a month, while I was unemployed.
Around 3/10/ 1999, the DA filed a claim for 5,000.00 to enforce pre petition child support arrears. The Bankruptcy Court denied the DA’s motion. The Bankruptcy court also ordered a new support order be entered.
Since 2000, a new support order was entered by the family court. It should be 0, but the DA had my wages garnished for 0 a month. My wages are still garnished to this day, even though my children are now 20 and 19 years old.
The DA has intercepted nine years of tax refunds post wage garnishment. The DA has also taken little money I saved post wage garnishment. The DA emptied all my bank accounts including the last one just a couple a months ago.
I had not one, not two but all three of my properties foreclosed while I was under bankruptcy protection. The DA took over a million dollar from the proceeds of the three trustees’ sale. But the DA acknowledges taking only ,000. I am homeless since 2000. I live in hotels. My credit is in the dump. I need your help to resolve this matter once and for all.
In September 2007, I received a letter stating that I still owe 5,000.00. I received another letter, from DA of Maryland, stating that I owe less than ,000.00. The numbers do not add up. I just found out the MD case was closed since May 2008.
Can this case be handled by a Bankruptcy lawyer or a Family lawyer or a civil right lawyer? Please advise. I hope justice prevails.
God bless America.

Bankruptcy lawyer taking forever?
I retained a bankruptcy lawyer back in may, to file for bankruptcy of course…..he told me it would take about 4 months…..here it is 7 months later…..he cashed my check within 3 days i retained him back in may…..my main reason was for garnishment…..i went and saw him 2 and a half weeks ago, after numerous phone calls, and asked how much longer to get filed, so the garnishment would stop…i said " what, a couple weeks"?…he says no…a couple days…..here it is 3 weeks later, after 5 voicemails…no response…still not filed….still being garnished……do i have any leverage here!!!!!!!!!!….i feel he owes me money, cuz hes takin his frickin time,…he was quick to cash my 1500 dollar check though 7 months ago!!!
If you’re representing someone who has become bankrupt, they have no money!! So how do bankruptcy lawyers get paid?? I dated a guy whose dad was a bankruptcy lawyer and he had money out the ass!!! I never saw him to ask b/c he was always working and I didn’t feel comfortable asking the guy or his mom. If your client has no money, how can they pay you??
Maybe explain a day in the life of a bankruptcy lawyer. Thank you!
