Congress has made it clear that it does not trust that anyone can use the bankruptcy process without the necessity of lots of disclaimers and warnings. Some of these documents overload you with information - they should be given at later stages in the process, but in 2005 the credit card and banking industry wanted to make bankruptcy so complicated that people would not file bankruptcy, Congress drafted a law that front-loads far too much information on someone just trying to gain basic information, stop harassment by creditors and collection companies. It has always been my belief that my job as an attorney is to educate my clients so that they make good decisions based on knowledge and facts not half truths and rumors.Prior to this 2005 law I had always given all this information to my clients - but over a period of several meetings, not all at one time. Therefore, in order for me to comply with Congress's mandate, please read and sign the documents set forth below. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
