    I love being a Minnesota bankruptcy attorney because it allows me to give people hope that, together, we can get their lives back. People call us because of business failure (many businesses fail, that is a fact of life), income drop (bad economy or otherwise), divorce (happens to many), medical problems (how can you help that?), and bad financial decisions (we have all made them!). I understand the financial pressures my clients face because I experienced many of these same pressures growing up. I know that most of my clients end up in debt through no fault of their own. I became a bankruptcy attorney to give these people the help and support they need in this time of trouble.

    Get the Best Possible Fresh Start, at Kain & Scott

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 29

    I am reminded often of how we go the distance with clients at Kain & Scott. Part of our job at Kain & Scott is to make sure the client has the best fresh start possible. Sometimes that means bringing claims on behalf of the client without charging the client. In fact, at Kain & Scott, we often bring objections, responses, and motions and then attend the hearings on behalf of the client all for free. Why do we do this? Because it is the right thing to do. Sometimes these claims would cost the client far more in attorney’s fees than they are worth pursuing. I think the creditors and trustees often know this so these claims remain just that, claims.

    Beware of This if You Plan to File Bankruptcy in Minnesota

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 28

     If you are looking to file bankruptcy in Minnesota you must be aware of who is marketing to you. For, example, if you call someone who is out of state, tread very carefully. Why? I have known some of these entities to have you sign contracts stating that they will immediately begin work and charge you by the hour. So, if you call them, they bill you. If you email them, they bill you. The reason why this is so important is if you pay 2k for bankruptcy but decide not to file the bankruptcy, you will not receive a full refund of your fees.

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 24

     If you are considering filing Chapter 7 or 13 Bankruptcy in Mankato, Minnesota, avoid this. You will find that bankruptcy law firms advertise in Mankato.

    What You Should Know ‘Motion for Relief'

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 23

    Once a bankruptcy case is filed, the debtor is protected by what is known as an ‘automatic stay.’ This is a fancy legal term that essentially means that all creditor communication with the debtor must stop. This also stops all further collections actions from creditors that are listed on the debtor’s bankruptcy petition. Once this automatic stay is in place debtors don’t have to worry about creditor calls, letters, or collections –it’s a powerful thing, the automatic stay.

    Let Us Worry About Your Overwhelming Debt

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 21

    You could not find a single person who will tell you that life is easy. It is not. In fact, sometimes it seems like life is purposefully cruel –dealing blow after blow, hit after hit, and just when you think there might be a moment of relief, life kicks you again when you are down. One of life’s lowest blows is overwhelming debt. Debt creeps into your life and when it finally sinks its fangs in, it is already too late. You are buried alive by it and suffocating –already weakened by the other curveballs that life has lobbed at you. It may seem hopeless. But it is not.

    The Cost of Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in MN

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 18

    Obviously, when you are considering filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the cost of filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is important. Some firms will not give you their fees over the phone or on their website. I guess they don’t want to deal with those people wondering how much the fees are to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I honestly don’t know why a firm would not share the fees with you unless they cannot justify the price of their fees to you over the phone or on their website. Maybe there is a reason why you should make some extra phone calls if the firm is not interested in helping you get your life back beyond what is in your wallet.

    The One Regret Every Minnesotan Has About Filing Bankruptcy

    Posted by Wesley Scott on October 17

    It is not what you think at all. You think that every Minnesotan filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy regrets filing the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to begin with. Not true at all. In fact, the single biggest regret Minnesotans have after filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, is that they didn’t file the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy much sooner. Instead, we humans do the same thing over and over again. We suffer far too long before we seek help and get our lives back.
