Keep in mind that in a  bankruptcy petition a debtor has to list his assets and liabilities very similiar to a Balance Sheet for a business. Additionally, a debtor has to disclose his income and expenses similiar to a Profit and Loss accounting statement. While the process seems cumbersome, a debtor is entitled to keep all his exempted property and also avoid law suits, wage garnishment, repossessions, bank levies and all creditors teckniques to make you pay a debt that most likely qualifies for  a "discharge" (forgiveness) in bankruptcy court.. Most people are under the mistaken belief that business or personal income income tax are not "dischargeable" through bankruptcy; however, meeting certain conditions they are forgiven in full.. Would you like an attorney who is also an accountant on your side while filing for bankruptcy?  Call my office and the initial consultation is free and we also run a credti report for free during your consultation to weigh in your overall liabilities.
