Bankruptcy is a unique process.  Not only is it handled by a specialized court—the bankruptcy court—but the ability to fully take advantage of the benefits of bankruptcy depends on a thorough knowledge of a specialized and often complex law—the Bankruptcy Code—together with the corresponding rules and regulations.  The uniqueness and complexity of bankruptcy often make it appear intimidating to those considering bankruptcy as a possible solution to their financial difficulties.  This part of our website is designed to help alleviate this problem, by providing both a general overview of bankruptcy and an explanation of what one can expect after filing for bankruptcy.  To learn about the bankruptcy process and the different types of bankruptcy, please click on one of the links below.  For additional information on specific issues that may come up in bankruptcy, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions section and our Blog.
