• File a Statement of Intentions, if not included in your initial petition

Filing bankruptcy cannot relieve the stress of any student loans, child support payments, restitution fees, criminal fines, alimony, or taxes. If you have other sources of financial stress bogging you down, you can discuss your financial options with our commercial and private bankruptcy attorneys.
