    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.

    Before Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Minneapolis, MN, Read About Assets You May Lose

    Posted by Wesley Scott on August 31

        Suppose you filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Minneapolis, MN. You have a lot of equity in your home so your attorney correctly uses the Minnesota Exemption scheme to protect your assets the best she can. I say the best she can because when using the Minnesota Bankruptcy Exemption scheme, we know not all of your assets will be protected. Why? Because the Minnesota Bankruptcy Exemption scheme is fairly rigid; your assets either fit neatly into a Minnesota Exemption or it does not. There is no “wild card” exemption as there is in the Federal Exemption scheme.

    Avoid These Two Things When Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
