Ninety-six percent of the people who consult with me just happen also to be candidates for filing Ch. 7 bankruptcy. This fact, has always been something that surprised me. I am not a new-age type of guy, but people’s gut reactions to “I think I need a lawyer to file bankruptcy ” are usually right.
Knowing if you qualify for bankruptcy and can file bankruptcy is not something you can figure out from the Internet. It is difficult to do all the math and calculations it can take me an hour . But the people who see me at my office “they know”. How did these folks know when to file bankruptcy?
How can you know when it is time to file bankruptcy?
A variety of ways. Some realized it only after they had drained their retirement accounts trying to stay current on bills. Others caught it when they were just starting to dip into their 401k and got an uneasy feeling about it. Still others got really tired of the nasty phone calls from collection departments. For the badly harassed, some were losing sleep, their health – or, what feels worse, the health of a spouse – was declining. They worried about lawsuits, and some had already been sued. Sometimes they knew they could not feed their kids and make the credit card payment . The unluckiest of them had already had his or her wages garnished.
Chances are if you are feeling uneasy, melancholy, depressed or downright hopeless and panicked about your financial situation, you should go with your gut and get bankruptcy advice.
Your intuition is a really accurate barometer of which direction to take.

Thanks for the information..I’m in Alaska and am going to be filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy soon. Obviously, I’m filing for a reason and I don’t have much money for a lawyer. So, I’m just wondering about how much I’d be spending for a lawyer to take care of it, or if I should just learn & do it without one. Thanks for the help!
Not sure what a Lawyer will cost in Alaska . But most of them will give you a free consult ,try that first .
