Once they've exhausted all their options, hundreds of hardworking Arizonans just like you come to the same conclusion every single month ? they need the help of an Arizona bankruptcy attorney.

First, your attorney will help you decide which form of bankruptcy may be right for you. Chapter 7 eliminates much of your debt, including credit card and medical bills, freeing up extra money for you to make your monthly mortgage and car payments. Chapter 13 requires you to pay back what you owe over a specified period of time. It may also eliminate more types of debt than Chapter 7. Only an experienced bankruptcy attorney will know which option is best for your unique situation.
When it comes time to file your bankruptcy petition with the court, your lawyer is equally essential as paperwork errors mean revision and resubmission. It is critical to provide the court with a schedule of your assets and liabilities within 15 days of filing the petition. Miss this deadline, and the court dismisses the case.
If you are already in the middle of a bank foreclosure on your home, be sure to file your petition with the court before the foreclosure sale date on your property. That means consulting with an attorney as soon possible to allow enough time for preparation.
When it comes to keeping the home you've worked so hard for, your toughest decision could also be your smartest. Within months of your bankruptcy's completion, you can start rebuilding your credit again. You can get the fresh start that bankruptcy law is intended to provide.
