Tony Sottile, Esq.
I am asked quite often, "how am I supposed to pay for this?" It can be quite frustrating, no one will argue with that. However there are a few options available. What many people don't realize is that once you retain bankruptcy counsel you no longer need to pay certain bills! You will need to pay regular living expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, etc..., but the credit cards, medical bills and other debts that you are struggling with can be eliminated. The money you save on that is one way to pay for your attorney and filing fees. Also, many of my clients have friends and family that can give them a boost and help them pay their fees. These friends and family may use their own credit cards to help you out. Yes, we have the ability to take payments from 3rd parties - This not only can help get you filed, but can help you get filed quickly!
In short, filing bankruptcy is an investment in your future. Saving for your attorney fees will be substantially more affordable than struggling for years making the minimum payments on your credit cards.
