    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.

    When And Why Minnesotans File Bankruptcy

    Posted by Wesley Scott on December 5

    We have been practicing Bankruptcy Law at Kain & Scott since 1972. Our Lawyers have helped thousands of Minnesotans get their lives back and not a single one of these cases was identical to another. Everyone’s case is different because everyone is different. However, we have seen nearly everything under the sun and yet, the reasons why Minnesotan’s file bankruptcy can be reduced to 5 general categories.

    I can assure you I have never had a single Minnesotan call me and say Wes, I really incurred all of this debt knowing I would file bankruptcy in the end. Or, you know Wes, I spent 12 months in Europe, with my friends, using my plastic on all of our expenses, knowing when I got back to Minnesota I would file bankruptcy. So, why do Minnesotans file for bankruptcy? Here we go!

    Minneapolis Bankruptcy Attorney Success Stories at Kain & Scott

    Posted by Wesley Scott on November 30

    I recently met with a guest in Minneapolis who I had met with 2 years ago. She was contemplating bankruptcy 2 years ago- which is why she met with me then, but she was not ready to file bankruptcy. Have you ever heard of the expression, “flowers bloom at different times?” I like that expression because it fits out clients to a tee. Often the Minneapolis Bankruptcy Attorneys meet with guests and we think gee, you should really file bankruptcy and get your life back. But, for the client, this is all very brand new and scary.

    Roseville MN Bankruptcy Law Office Reviews & Horror Stories

    Posted by Wesley Scott on November 28

    I want to be very clear at the outset that what follows I do not like- at all. When I hear these stories it makes me very upset. When you feel overwhelmed with debt and all alone no one should be made to feel this way. The Bankruptcy Law Firm that you hire in Roseville should have your back, protect you, make you part of their team. I know this is a bit corny but I always envision my job as protecting the client like an injured bird and I am the mother hen watching out for them, protecting them, and rooting for them to succeed. Unfortunately, that does not always happen. Here are some horror stories we have been told from clients that have had negative experiences when filing for bankruptcy protection.

    Posted by Wesley Scott on November 15

    You have hit the wall. You live in Minneapolis and you have lived with overwhelming debt for years. You juggled the debt as long as you could and then the house of cards came crashing down on you. You stopped paying the bills altogether and simply buried your head in the sand.

    Getting Financing and a New Car After Filing Bankruptcy in Minneapolis

    Posted by Wesley Scott on November 9

    There are many outstanding benefits of hiring a Minneapolis Bankruptcy Attorney to help you restructure or eliminating your debts but bankruptcy is not without its difficulties even after your debts are discharged. After you've successfully completed your bankruptcy you might find yourselve wondering how to keep this positive momentum going. One of the most significant components to success is a simple one we often overlook. By simply identifying our goals we can begin to develop plans to achieve them. For many of us following a bankruptcy the major priority is reestablishing our credit so that we may obtain financing once again. Many of us overlook the significance of financing; the ability to pay for groceries or unexpected costs when there is no cash on hand is incredibly stressful, and we tend to focus on the lack of cash in these circumstances. These things may seem out of reach to you after you file bankruptcy but this is certainly not the case.
