New Paltz Attorneys ∙ New York Bankruptcy Advice
If you are trying to decide whether or not to file for bankruptcy, one of the first pitfalls to avoid is to make that important decision without consulting with an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Experienced bankruptcy advice is critical.
My name is Roger Glenn, co-founder of Glenn & Glenn, L.L.P., and I have been practicing law since 1980. During that time I have helped a great many individuals and small businesses find debt relief options — one of which is bankruptcy. Only a thorough examination of your debts, assets and income stream will lead to a good decision about whether or not to file for bankruptcy. If you decide to file, there are still pitfalls to avoid.

Incomplete Information
Incomplete information is a pitfall that can be made by an attorney who is in a rush or a paralegal who is inexperienced. If you forget to list certain types of debt, the debt does not go away when you file for bankruptcy and the creditor can still come after you. Your debt information must be complete. At Glenn & Glenn, L.L.P., you meet directly with an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
Incorrect or Missing Information
Missing information can come back to haunt you. You may have a judgment against you that you are unaware of, perhaps even in another state. As an experienced bankruptcy attorney, I know how to find all of the debts, as well as assets, so we can work to eliminate the debts and protect the assets.
Missed Deadline
Missing a deadline can mean starting over from square one. The bankruptcy court is a busy place and if you miss a deadline, you go back to the end of the line and start over.
Avoid Paperwork Errors
A single mistake in the paperwork or in a calculation can result in your petition being dismissed. All paperwork should be error-free.
The single biggest pitfall is not having a discussion up front about alternatives to bankruptcy. If there is another option, or a better option, will you take it? I can help you with this decision and help you avoid bankruptcy pitfalls.
