The Wrobel Q&A: A mixture of real bankruptcy questions and answers

The bankruptcy laws have changed over recent years. Notably, the 2005 amendments to the bankruptcy code made it significantly more complicated for people interested in filing bankruptcy. Where it used to be easier to qualify for a Chapter 7 (discharge) bankruptcy, the means testing required under the changes to the bankruptcy code now limit some people to Chapter 13 (reorganization) if they do not meet the new requirements for the traditional Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Since the laws have changed, people we know who had a bankruptcy more than 10 years ago likely had a different experience than people today. Additionally, since there is a variety of legal and financial details in most of our lives, the answers to many bankruptcy questions are complex and those answers depend on how an individual’s situation lines up with the complex system of laws known as the Bankruptcy Code.

Because the Bankruptcy Code is complex and every individual and family may have a complex amount of legal and financial questions, Attorney Joseph Wrobel spends some of his time answering real questions and giving real answers, to the best of his ability. His response often suggests there are more questions he would first need to ask a potential client to give them fair and honest answers to their questions. Even though the details in these questions and answers might be different from your potential questions, there may be some recurring types of questions and answers that can help you or a friend understand some of the basics about how Chapter 7, Chapter 13 and the automatic stay provisions of bankruptcy work to help people keep their car, home and get a fresh financial start.
