Dec 01, 2009OUTCOME: Discharged Debts
Client was a single parent whose financial obligations included supporting two minor children and an elderly parent. A wage garnishment was scheduled to commence four days after client’s initial conta ... ct with our law firm. The wage garnishment would have prevented client from meeting required expenses for utilities and food. We filed an emergency petition for chapter 7 relief the same day as the client interview.
