Minnesotans looking to file bankruptcy: watch out for this!

Written by Wesley Scott | September 4, 2022 at 12:30 AM

Recently, I spoke to a gentleman who was desperate to file bankruptcy and thought he could do it on his own. He quickly realized bankruptcy is too complicated of a legal process to do it himself. So then, he reached out to an out-of-state company to help him file bankruptcy “on the cheap”. The company was quick to gain access to his checking account and deduct money from his account for their fees ($500 by the time he reached out to LifeBack Law Firm). Soon after hiring this out of state company he began to get a sinking feeling in his stomach that this company was not what it purported to be.

     He began researching this company on-line and found it had a colorful reputation that left my client feeling lost. The company told him they were in Minnesota but when he did a Google search of where this company purported to be, they were not there. His heart began to sink. Meanwhile, his creditors were getting aggressive. What was he to do? He didn’t want to take time off work which is why he reach out to this out-of-state company to begin with. 

     Next, he did a Google search for a Minnesota based bankruptcy law firm that was kind and helpful and local. He found LifeBack Law and quickly did a phone consult with a local bankruptcy attorney who was super kind and helpful. Next, he scheduled an in-person appointment to file his bankruptcy and LifeBack Law Firm was right where they and Google maps purported it to be. To this day, our client cannot get a hold of anyone at this out-of-state company to answer any questions or help him. The moral of the story is simple: never hire an out of state company to help you file bankruptcy in Minnesota.
