If you are filing bankruptcy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, be careful of this! Many firms can file your bankruptcy but only one firm takes you the whole way. For example, while a bankruptcy discharge can get rid of your liability on debts, it does not erase the public record. For instance, say you have a 10k judgment against you. When the bankruptcy is discharged, your liability for the judgment (in most instances) is gone forever. However, the judgment itself remains a part of the public record until it is removed.
