Are you in financial trouble and there is no solution in sight? After a divorce, the loss of employment, a medical disaster or other situation, there can be a great deal of anxiety and stress trying to keep your bills paid – and it may be impossible. Filing for bankruptcy allows you to get a fresh start when there is no hope of catching up. It is important that you discuss filing for bankruptcy before you make any big decisions. For example, if you try to manage your bills by cashing out your retirement accounts, you not only will get a huge tax bill, if you file for bankruptcy, your retirement funds are exempt. Discuss your situation with our Carson bankruptcy lawyer at the Law Offices of James C. Shields before you make a decision. We can help you to determine if bankruptcy is right for you, or if there is an alternative that would solve your problems better. We have served the community of Carson for over two decades, and we are prepared to help you immediately.
