Bankruptcy Overview

Is Bankruptcy Right for You?

People have always had a lot of fear, anxiety and questions about bankruptcy. Likewise, there has always been a great deal of confusion regarding bankruptcy's rules and process. Unfortunately, the new bankruptcy laws enacted by Congress in 2005 have created more fear, more questions and more confusion than ever.

When you come to Prescott & Pearson, P.A., the bankruptcy picture becomes much clearer. At the free initial consultation, together we will take a look at the debts you owe, the assets you have, your monthly budget and other factors. After doing that, we'll be able to explain the available options, give you our opinion as to whether or not bankruptcy is right for you and let you decide what course of action to take.  We would also be happy to answer any questions you have about bankruptcy itself.

No one will try to force you into anything. In fact, if we don't think bankruptcy is right for you we'll say so up front.
