Back in Black
A popular coffeeshop topic we find that our attorneys are continually asked is “Do I really have to wait eight years to re-file bankruptcy”? That’s a common misstatement. Many people feel that the recession — or “economic slowdown” as some choose to phrase it — is slowly subsiding. Families are looking forward to this new decade and want to consolidate the financial mess that the recession has left them by filing bankruptcy. One way to accomplish this is through a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, or as it is commonly called, a reorganization of debt. Often clients come to our office and have a plan to resolve their debt. Our attorneys sit down with each client and explain that it may be more beneficial to reorganize and still pay off their obligations. Lowering personal monthly expenses alleviates some of the financial stress. Having a lower monthly amount due leaves more money for savings and other purchases that are important to each one of us individually. Once the bankruptcy process has been completed, clients often begin writing letters to the credit reporting agencies and advising them that the bad debt reflected on their credit report is being improperly reported. Clients make an effort to have the debt recorded on their credit reports as resolved through the bankruptcy that was filed. If you have questions about bankruptcy or foreclosure defense, you should contact an attorney that specializes in that field of law.

Tax Day
A popular myth holds that April 15 is the designated tax day because originally only the very wealthy had to pay taxes and the IRS wanted to catch them before they got distracted with planning for their summer trips.

The head side of an American coin is a bit heavier than the tail part, so heads ends up on the bottom an average of 51% of the time. Although not a huge odds booster, why in the world not pick tails every time?!
