Product Description

Maximize your bankruptcy filing benefits. If you have to file a personal bankruptcy case, you can find the accessible, authoritative guidance you’ll need to do it right in order to get the fresh start you deserve. One of America’s top bankruptcy lawyers, Henry J. Sommer, clearly and carefully takes you through the process of filing under chapter 7 and chapter 13…helps you determine which course is better…alerts you to the legal protections you enjoy under the sweeping Bankruptcy Code…assists you in getting the right legal counsel…and helps remove concern about the stigma associated with bankruptcy. This plain-English version of Sommer’s definitive manual, Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Practice, provides you with a lucid overview of how bankruptcy works, then helps you:
  • Determine if bankruptcy is finally the best path for you to take
  • Select an alternative means of financial restoration if it is not
  • Understand the myriad forms involved when filing
  • Prepare for the sometimes complex proceedings once the paperwork is done
  • Effectively use such "shields" as automatic stays and exemption provisions
  • Capitalize on the many advantages of using bankruptcy court as a forum
  • Work more wisely with your attorney—and much, much more!
Along the way, Consumer Bankruptcy dispels many of the tired myths surrounding bankruptcy, highlights many of its hidden advantages, assists you in devising a workable fee arrangement with your lawyer, and even alerts you to the rights you have as a creditor if you choose to make a claim against a business in bankruptcy.


From the Publisher

3.0 out of 5 stars Generally good but laws have changed since 1994, November 8, 2000
By Michael Brower (Sitka, Alaska USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a basic one with good general facts, but many of the bankruptcy laws have changed since 1994 when the book was published.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Bankruptcy, September 27, 2000
By Stanley E. Soper (Belmont, MA United States) - See all my reviews
I have reviewed a lot of books on consumer bankruptcy -- and this one is the best. It is comprehensive, up-to-date and accurate. If you are thinking about bankruptcy, are owed money by someone who has filed for bankruptcy (or who might file for bankruptcy) or if you have filed for bankruptcy -- you should buy it. You won't regret it.
