I have a friend who is in debt about 30,000, and is sinking fast. She wants to file for bankruptcy. How much should her lawyer be charging her to file?

haulinazzgirl asked:


I am currently enrolled in a debt mgmt program and cannot make the payments any longer. My house and land is valued at $10,000 and I have very little personal assets. Does anyone know which chapter would be right for me? Is there somewhere I could call to get legal advice on this (I have VERY little money to pay a lawyer)? Where can I find the stipulations for bankruptcy in Virginia? Thanks
I also run my own business from home.

L*star* asked:


I’m wondering if anyone out there has filed bankruptcy on their own without an attorney? If so, what was it like? Was it hard or something an educated person like me could do?

newjerseygirl asked:


I need to file bankruptcy, and don’t know how to find an honest bankruptcy lawyer.

what up asked:


I’ve been trying to avoid it, but this is looking to be my best option. I need to file and I need to do it as cheaply as possible, preferably with the aide of a lawyer.

Chef Steve asked:


I need to file bankruptcy. I understand what this means. I have my reasons and I need to do it as cheaply as is possible. So far all my answers tell me to hire a lawyer or to use a credit company. This is not what I’m asking. I want to do it alone and on my own.

goofnwfy asked:


I am in a desperate situation. (Please, do not judge or criticize) My husband and I went to a financial counselor who told us to get a bankruptcy lawyer. We owe a lot, especially credit cards. We both work fulltime and have a decent income, but somehow the expenses has gotten out of hand.

I have an app’t next week with a lawyer. What can expect if we go this route? Anyone with experience with a personal bankruptcy?
