    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.

    Is My Home Protected if I File for Bankruptcy in Saint Paul, Minnesota?

    Posted by Wesley Scott on January 2

    Whether a person files a Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, they are afforded a great deal of relief from their debts. When a person files a Chapter 13 case, they agree to pay as much as they can towards their debts in a 3—to 5-year repayment plan before getting their discharge. The bankruptcy court plays a crucial role in these proceedings, allowing individuals to keep certain necessities while managing their debts.

    Posted by Wesley Scott on December 27

         We all have fears. Some of us has have anxiety levels that are quite low and others quite high. Over the years, I have seen both sides. I tend to be on the higher anxiety side. But I have had people come in over the years needing to file bankruptcy and they could not care less they are filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I find that amazing. I mean I am envious of someone who has so little anxiety like that. However, in my career, that is not the norm. Most people are terrified of filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

    What Happens if I Have Unprotected Property in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case in St. Paul, Minnesota?

    Posted by Wesley Scott on December 23

        A chapter 7 bankruptcy is a great and powerful tool that allows people to get rid of huge amounts of debts that they can no longer financially afford to pay. Unlike, in a chapter 13, in which a person pays as much as they can towards their debts in a 3 to 5 year repayment before receiving a discharge of their remaining debts, a person in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case is not required to make payments towards their debts, and typically receives a discharge within 3 to 4 months after filing their case. Any person is allowed to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy so long as they qualify based on their income (the person must have an income that is below the State median income for their family size).

    Posted by Wesley Scott on December 21

    An individual who files a chapter 13 or chapter 7 personal bankruptcy case is afforded a great deal of relief from their debts. In exchange for this huge debt relief, a person who files for bankruptcy (aka the “debtor”), is required to make payments to creditors in a chapter 13 repayment plan and, in some circumstances, is required to surrender property to pay creditors in a chapter 7 case.

    Keeping a Vehicle by “Redeeming” it in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Saint Paul, Minnesota

    Posted by Wesley Scott on November 5

    When a person files a chapter 7 bankruptcy case, they must make a decision as to what they intend to do with their existing secured vehicle loans. Bankruptcy eliminates the debtor’s personal legal responsibility to repay a vehicle loan but does not eliminate the lender’s lien against the vehicle. Therefore, when a debtor files a chapter 7 case, they must choose whether to keep the vehicle and pay for it, or stop making payments, and surrender the vehicle back to the lender
