A:
Many have been affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bankruptcy may be an option for your family member. Your family member may also qualify for a fee waiver if he/she is on disability.
Be sure to consult to a bankruptcy attorney in your area.

A: I suggest you take that person to see a bankruptcy lawyer, immediately. Most BK lawyers do not charge for a consultation.

A: Debt issues cause a great deal of stress and anxiety but oftentimes can be resolved. Considering bankruptcy should be looked into. It is important to talk with a bankruptcy attorney in your area to fully understand options and related issues. Many of us offer a half hour phone consultation at no charge, which would be a good start to understanding how to proceed.
