Drowning in debt

Jennifer Norton Weil

Practice Area: Bankruptcy / Debt

Outcome: Bankruptcy discharge awarded to debtor

Description: A client was drowning in credit card debt - she was struggling to make the minimum payments each month, struggling to pay the rent and her utility bills. We spoke and she made the decision to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After filing, I accompanied her to the meeting of creditors. About sixty days later, she received a discharge of all of her credit card debt through the bankruptcy - a fresh start.
