If you live in Lincoln, NE and are contemplating a bankruptcy, we would like you to know you have the option of hiring an attorney whose office is in another city in Nebraska.  Some people may even feel more comfortable hiring a law firm from a different city to put some distance between their local community and the process of the bankruptcy.

The most important requirement for completing cases where you never have to meet an attorney face-to-face is for clients to have access to e-mail, a printer and a scanner.  Alternatively you can use an app on your device that allow you to take a picture and convert it to a .pdf format.  All you really need is this basic technology and we can help you without the need to travel to our office in Omaha.

Facing bankruptcy is a difficult time, and you are likely under extreme financial stress and may find it hard to cover your house or vehicle payments.   You may also be facing a garnishment, a garnishment is a court order directing that money or property be seized from the defendant to satisfy a debt owed to a creditor.

When filing for bankruptcy appears to be a viable option, you may be wondering how much a bankruptcy will cost or if you can handle the process without the help of an attorney.  Although people have gone through a bankruptcy alone, it is always advisable to hire an experienced attorney to guide you through the experience.

Ironically, this may be a good time to use your Covid-19 stimulus check to start the bankruptcy process.  It might be enough money to get the process started and reduce the stress level and uncertainty about what’s going to happen in your financial future.

Some reasons you may want to start the bankruptcy process now include:

• Stop the constant flow of unwanted calls from creditors
• The bank is going to foreclose on your home
• Your car is going to be repossessed
• If you’re facing eviction
• You’re facing a lawsuit

Of course there are down sides to filing bankruptcy, and you can learn more about them in a previous blog post.  https://hyattorneys.com/blog/bankruptcy/should-i-use-my-stimulus-check-to-file-for-bankruptcy/
