Filing for Bankruptcy in Jacksonville

Are you considering filing for bankruptcy? Get the legal counsel you can trust.

Filing for bankruptcy became much more complex when the laws were amended in 2005. The federal government took action to keep those who would unfairly take advantage of filing chapter 7 when they really had other options that would have been more responsible, such as selling assets to pay for debt. The current scene is that there are many more requirements for filing chapter 7 or chapter 13. The first step is the requirement of the means test. This test is quite complex and is a two stage process. The purpose of it is to determine whether you qualify to file chapter 7. Any person that is below the median income allowed in the state will qualify. There are cases that are more complex in which more information must be provided. It is extremely important that ALL of the information is completely correct, or you could run into very serious problems.
