Consulting With The Law Offices Of Hagen & Hagen Does Not Mean You Will Necessarily Be Filing Bankruptcy

The last thing we want to do is put someone in bankruptcy if his or her financial difficulties do not warrant the filing of bankruptcy, if filing bankruptcy would produce negative results that outweigh the corresponding positive results, or if he or she is uncomfortable about bankruptcy. We provide our clients with a thorough analysis of their financial circumstances, present them with various options, and make certain recommendations as to whether to, how to, and when to proceed. We will not hesitate to recommend against a bankruptcy filing if the circumstances so warrant.

Should I list my monthly obligations, like my utility bills, in my bankruptcy case if I am current on such payments?

Generally no. If the debtor is current on his or her payment of certain monthly obligations such as utility bills, there is no point in listing the utility company as a creditor. In fact, by listing it as a creditor, it might prompt the utility company to demand a deposit for future services.

Our bankruptcy practice is primarily focused in the Central District Of California, which includes Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Santa Barbara County, Ventura County and San Luis Obispo County. Our Southern California bankruptcy attorneys see clients from all over the greater Los Angeles area and Southern California, including Santa Monica, Long Beach, Anaheim, Pasadena, Orange, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Garden Grove, Irvine, Yorba Linda, Riverside, San Bernardino, Pomona, Torrance, Simi Valley, Mission Viejo, Ontario, Glendora, and Covina. We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
