Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding in which a person who cannot pay his or her bills can get a fresh financial start. People consider filing bankruptcy for many reasons, including but not limited to costly medical bills, mortgage rates, a divorce, or simply credit card bills stacking up. The right to hire an attorney to file for bankruptcy protection is provided by federal law, and all bankruptcy cases are heard in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Filing bankruptcy immediately stops all collection activity. Under Federal Law, once your creditors are on notice that you have an attorney, they are not allowed to communicate directly with you. Filing bankruptcy can help:

• Eliminate the legal obligation to pay most or all of your debts. This is called a \"discharge\" of debts. It is designed to give you a fresh financial start.
• Stop foreclosure on your house or mobile home & allow you an opportunity to catch up.
