Often times our bankruptcy clients find that they need additional legal help while they are working on their bankruptcy case. Sometimes they need a will, or a power of attorney, or sometimes they are injured and need help recovering for that injury. At Teel & Maroney, PLC, we can help with all of those things, and more. Keeping all of your matters in one office helps reduce the strain on you, and you already know the team that will be helping you. You can relax knowing that our office can help you through many things, not just bankruptcy. Give us a call if we can help you with anything at 731-424-3315 or visit us at www.tennesseefirm.com.
Bankruptcy during COVID-19
Many people are struggling right now with decreased income, but they have the same bills (maybe even more!) since before COVID-19 started. Some are wondering can they still file bankruptcy. The answer is YES! You are still able to file bankruptcy under these conditions, and we are happy to help you navigate this new world. We can meet with you in person, talk over the phone, or even by video conference for an initial discussion on your options and how to reach your goals.
Many people do everything they can to avoid filing bankruptcy, so by the time we talk to them they are ready to file immediately. Other times, people know a change is coming and want to start planning the next right step.
For so many people right now in Tennessee, the end of July will also bring the end of the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance payments. That is $600 per week that many people will no longer receive. We can start planning now to determine what the next right step is. We do not have to wait until that income stops coming in.
For others, pay cuts are still happening. Layoffs are still newly announced every week. So for people who are living paycheck to paycheck, the time to start planning may be before you actually get the call that your pay has been cut or you’ve been part of the latest rounds of layoffs. You don’t have to wait to start planning.
For some people, we are even able to say that bankruptcy isn’t the best option, and perhaps other options might be good to try first.
Either way, we are happy to discuss your goals and see how we might be able to help. Just give us a call at 731-424-3315 and we will find a time convenient for you to discuss everything and ask all the questions you have so you can make the most informed decision. I look forward to seeing you soon!
