UTAH BANKRUPTCY

A note from attorney Edward Stone regarding filing a bankruptcy in Utah:

"If you found my website, then things have likely gone wrong for you or a loved one.  It might be because one of the income providers in your home got sick, stayed home with the kids, got fired, or perhaps got divorced.  It could be that a temporarily disabled person might have crushing medical debt as a result of their injury.  There are a multitude of reasons for filing bankruptcy and every one of them is right.  There is no debtor prison in the United States for a reason; good people sometimes get into unmanageable financial situations through no fault of their own.

The wrong move is to ignore the situation. The problem won't go away no matter how hard you pretend it doesn't exist.  Gather information, consult with professionals and empower yourself to make smart decisions.  The threshold question is: should I file for bankruptcy?  With the new bankruptcy laws, does it make sense?  What assets can I protect?  Will I lose my house, my savings, my family heirlooms, my retirement or my inheritance?  You need to know the answer to each and every one of these questions before you commit to a decision. 

At The Stone Law Firm, we are here to help you make that decision.  We will not rush you or pressure you into filing.  You need to be confident that you considered every alternative prior to making your decision. You are trusting us to make one of the biggest financial decisions in your life; we take the decision every bit as seriously as you do.  Our philosophy is that it is our job at the outset to discuss the viability of bankruptcy alternatives.  Debt consolidation, structured settlements and family loans are all avenues we explore with you. Do not trust an attorney who seems indifferent to your circumstances is more eager to collect a fee.

Perhaps most importantly, we do not judge you for the financial position you find yourself in.  Everyone in the firm has suffered financial hardship at one time or another in their lives.  I myself graduated from law school with $100,000 in student loan debt and made $35,000 a year in my first job as a federal public defender.  The debt was non-dischargeable, and I had a miserable time trying to make minimal payments and paying my monthly living expenses in San Diego.  I know your pain; I have been there. 

We are here to ease your stress, empower you with the firm's 27 combined years of bankruptcy knowledge and help you get back your financial life back on track.

Call or e-mail for a free initial consult.  I look forward to hearing from you."
