Getting good Long Island bankruptcy legal advice is extremely important
.
I can’t tell you how many times a bankruptcy client comes in to meet with me, and after I explain how a bankruptcy filing would work, the client says, “But that’s not how it worked with my Uncle Joey’s case. He gave me special advice and told me what to do.”
Even worse is when a client tries to get away with something improper in bankruptcy court because a friend or relative told them they could.
There is only one person who can give good bankruptcy legal advice and that is a qualified and experienced bankruptcy attorney. Don’t listen to Uncle Joey. Don’t listen to friends or co-workers. What may or may not have happened in their cases has nothing to do with your case. Facts can be different; the law might have changed; circumstances are never identical.
Even well-intentioned friends and relatives can provide bad advice. When it comes to considering bankruptcy relief in a United States Bankruptcy Court, you need to get good, proper and correct bankruptcy legal advice.
