Having not filed for bankruptcy, many famous and accomplished persons would have been deprived of the opportunity to get a fresh start. Abraham Lincoln filed for bankruptcy after a failed attempt to open a general store in 1833. P.T. Barnum filed for bankruptcy in 1856 after defaulting on a bad loan he guaranteed for a friend's business. He later regrouped to form Barnum and Bailey's Circus. President William Mc Kinley, then Governor of Ohio, also due to a defaulted business loan he co-signed for a friend, filed for bankruptcy in 1883. Mark Twain filed for bankruptcy in 1894 after a failed attempt to publish his own work (because he disliked his publisher), and a bad investment in an automatic typesetting machine. Henry Ford filed for bankruptcy in 1896 after failing at his first venture, the Detroit Automobile Company. He later filed again after failing at his second attempt, the Henry Ford Company. Finally he succeeded the third time in creating the Ford Motor Company. Walt Disney filed for bankruptcy in 1923 when his first animation company failed. With help from his family, he later formed Walt Disney Studios where, in 1928, Mickey Mouse was born. Dozens of accomplished individuals filed for bankruptcy, i.e., Mickey Rooney, Willie Nelson, Francis Ford Coppola, Oscar Wilde, Burt Reynolds and Nicholas Cage, to name a few. If financial burden is holding you back from living life to the fullest call Buffalo bankruptcy attorney, Thomas Denny.

FAQs

Why do I need a bankruptcy attorney?

You are not legally required to have a bankruptcy attorney, but allowing us to help you navigate the complex requirements of the bankruptcy law results in more complete relief.

What do I need to begin the bankruptcy filing process?

At our first consultation, we will provide you with a detailed list of documents and information needed for the preparation of your bankruptcy filing.

Will filing for bankruptcy eliminate all of my debts?

Filing for bankruptcy will eliminate most but not all of your debts. Exceptions include student loans, alimony, maintenance, child support, and some income taxes. This will be discussed in detail at your consultation.

How can you improve your credit score after filing for bankruptcy?

You can rebuild your credit score with a positive payment history. After filing bankruptcy, it is crucial that you continue to make existing mortgage payments and car payments on time. You may also obtain a secured credit card. With regular and responsible use of the secured credit card, you can help improve your credit score.

What are my alternatives to filing for bankruptcy?

Beware of "for profit" credit counseling or debt consolidation companies. The fees are often high and must be paid before any debts are paid. Be sure you understand what such companies can and cannot do for you. Specifically, you will have no legal protection from your creditors who may continue to sue you or take other collection actions against you. Give us a call today to explore your options.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
