When it finally dawned on me that I was not going to be able to hold off the creditors any longer I started to seek out a bankruptcy attorney. While conducting my search I interviewed 10 Bankruptcy attorneys the difference in professionalism and compassion was stark.

However after battling with creditors,past due notices and of course the endless collection calls I was at the verge of a nervous breakdown, to say I was frazzled would have been an understatement.
