      Religious and Charitable Donations in Bankruptcy

      Posted by Wesley Scott on February 11

          Many people frequently make regular donations to charities and religious organizations. Our laws generally promote and encourage these types of donations due to the positive impact it has on our social institutions and other members of society.  For example, the IRS Tax Code allows for certain tax breaks for people and companies who make charitable donations. The Bankruptcy Code also specifically makes certain allowances for those who donate to religious organizations and charities.

      If You Represent Yourself in Bankruptcy, You Have a Fool for a Client

      Posted by Wesley Scott on November 20

      I can remember in law school the professors pounding into our heads that if you, even as a lawyer, try to represent yourself in a legal matter you have a fool for a client. This is especially true for non-lawyers who try to represent themselves in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy proceeding in Minnesota. Why? Bankruptcy is a complicated area of the law—one that takes years for a lawyer to master.

      Avoid Minnesota Bankruptcy Law Firms That Are Gimmicky

      Posted by Wesley Scott on November 19

      I had a client of ours the other day comment on how she loved our website and she said something that really stuck with me. She said that are marketing presence was not “gimmicky”. That word “gimmicky” resonates with me because that is the opposite of what Kain & Scott is striving to do. We are striving to be the opposite of “gimmicky”. What did she mean by this?

      Kain & Scott Bankruptcy Firm Guarantees Our Fees

      Posted by Wesley Scott on November 12

      It should not be surprising to be treated with common decency. One would think that it would be obvious that guests and clients are respected when they enter an establishment. It should be, but in many cases, it is not. We may forgive this at the grocery store or other retail establishments where interactions are few and fleeting. But we often hear our clients have been treated poorly at other bankruptcy law firms and we find this absolutely unacceptable.

      Minnesota’s LARGEST Chapter 7 & 13 Bankruptcy Website

      Posted by Wesley Scott on October 4

      Let’s face it, there are better words in the English dictionary other than bankruptcy. But if you are in Minnesota and you are suffering from overwhelming debt, you will need to do some research on bankruptcy—what it is, what is the process, and what are the fees. If you are like me, you find it really annoying to have to skip around to different websites to try and cobble together information about a subject.

      What Minnesotans Want in a Chapter 7/13 Bankruptcy Law Firm

      Posted by Wesley Scott on September 20

                      

      If you are suffering from overwhelming debt in Minnesota, you are not alone. Each year, over 15,000 Minnesotans file Chapter 7 or 13 Bankruptcy in Minnesota. In some years, that number is much higher.  Minnesotans file more Chapter 7 Bankruptcies than Chapter 13. If I had to guess, the number is probably 3 Chapter 7 Bankruptcies to every Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

      4 Tricks To Picking The Best MN Bankruptcy Law Firm

      Posted by Wesley Scott on March 9

      Every year, roughly 10-12,000 Minnesotans file bankruptcy. I think there are twice that number who should file bankruptcy every year but don’t. I am always amazed at how tough Minnesotans really are. By that I mean they put up a good fight for a long time before they turn to bankruptcy. Mind you- I am not at all suggesting they should wait long to file bankruptcy because quite frankly, that is the number one regret we hear from our guests all the time.
