What Happens on the Call

We keep the call focused on you — your situation, your questions, and your options. Here is what to expect.

1

You tell us what is happening. We listen without judgment. Tell us about the calls from collectors, the bills piling up, or the garnishment notice — whatever is weighing on you.

2

We review your finances honestly. We look at your income, your debts, and any legal action against you. We ask a few straightforward questions to understand the full picture.

3

We explain your options. We tell you whether bankruptcy makes sense for you, which chapter fits your situation, and what the process looks like — in plain language, no legal jargon.

4

You decide what to do next. There is no pressure and no sales pitch. The decision is yours. Many people simply leave with a clearer picture of their options.

What to Have Handy

You do not need to be fully prepared before you call. The more information you have, the more specific we can be — but the call is useful even if you bring nothing. If you can, have these nearby:

  • Recent pay stubs or a rough sense of your monthly take-home pay
  • A list of your debts (credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, mortgage, car payments)
  • Any court papers, garnishment notices, or lawsuit documents you have received
  • Names of any creditors who are calling or threatening legal action

If you have filed bankruptcy before, the year matters — let us know.
