The “Great Recession”, as it has been dubbed by some, serves as a sobering reminder that the right circumstances can spell financial ruin for virtually anyone. Over the past couple of years, people from all walks of life, including many members of the upper middle class, have suffered and struggled through soaring unemployment, and historic foreclosure rates; forcing many families to subsist strictly on unemployment benefits. 

As a result, the stigma once attached to Bankruptcy debtors has today all but disappeared, allowing hard working Americans who have fallen on hard times to truly receive the fresh start the Bankruptcy Code was intended to provide.

Ironically, it bears noting that – in truth, although Bankruptcy has at various times in the past been negatively viewed, it has long enjoyed favored status in the annals of American history; having been specifically authorized by the Constitution of the United States. 

More than two centuries later, the recent economic downturn and financial upheaval continue to offer testament to the wisdom and sound judgment of the Founding Fathers’ decision to grant us the opportunity to start over with a clean slate.

Considered in the context of this historical backdrop, consumers in financial straits, faced with insurmountable debt and the prospect of financial destitution are well advised to seek competent legal counsel.
