Q: My Daughter has Cerebral Palsy and has $26,000 in debt. Are there attorneys who help disabled people and Bankruptcy?
She also was served with a lawsuit today from Synchronicity for $5,000 which she had actually paid $2,200 of then they added the interest of 18 months because she had not paid the full balance of $4,400 off, so it went back up to $4,000and now more interest. She said she did not understand that wouid happen.
She only has SSA and no property. Are there Attorneys that could help her with representing her and helping her due to her financial situation?

A: All attorneys have a non-discrimination policy in providing bankruptcy services. So the fact that your daughter has cerebral palsy is irrelevant. The only issue is whether she has property that can be used to pay her bills and or expenses that exceed her income. Best regards.
A: Many bankruptcy attorneys, as I do, offer a free consultation - which I recommend you look into for your daughter. Her disability is not an issue. The sooner you meet with an attorney to advise you and your daughter, the better.
