Helping Indianapolis Clients Chart a Path Through Bankruptcy
A financial or economic catastrophe that leaves a person drowning in debt, unable to pay creditors or facing the loss of home and property can happen to anyone. We only practice Bankruptcy law at the Bankruptcy law office of Portia Douglas. We counsel, advise and educate clients in the Indianapolis and Central Indiana area on how they can employ bankruptcy protections to take back control of their financial situation. Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be an empowering experience that restores control and certainty about your financial future.
Our Forefathers who wrote the Constitiution knew the importance of creating a Bankruptcy system in this country. The United States Constitution Section 8, Paragraph 4 reads: The Congress shall have power to establish uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States.
Our Forefathers who wrote the Constitution understood that countries which did not allow bankruptcy left families burdened with debt until death. It is essential to our economy for people to be able to start over with a clean slate so that they can again be able to be produce and spend money.
Helping Clients Understand Their Rights and Options
Bankruptcy was a part of the culture in Biblical times and is a right guaranteed you by the Constitution. In preparing for bankruptcy, we can help you make strategic and smart choices that will benefit you financially. At our first consultation* we will thoroughly discuss your financial situation including the following:
- What property you can and cannot protect in bankruptcy
- What debts you may be able to discharge in bankruptcy
- The type of bankruptcy you are likely to be eligible to file
- Your goals and the type of bankruptcy that will accomplish your specific goals
- How the process works
If you decide to proceed with the bankruptcy, we give you a list of the documentation we need to prepare your paperwork. All intake is done with Portia Douglas, not a paralegal or support staff.
Whether you are looking to start over with a clean slate, or protect key assets such as a home or car, we work with you to find solutions to help you reach your goals.
