Bankruptcy is the legal process of saying, "Look, I don't have the money to pay my debts," and getting a court order giving you a <a title="The Fresh Start" href="http://johnbodlelaw.com/bankruptcy-basics/the-fresh-start/">fresh start</a>.  Bankruptcy law tells us how to describe and divide your property and debts and, ultimately, to determine what you will keep and what you will give up.

In most cases the hardest thing about bankruptcy is making the decision to start.  Almost nobody wants to file bankruptcy; they avoid even thinking about it – but in the long run, that only makes things harder.  So, if you're reading these words, you've already started to make it easier!

Okay, I admit it – there's no way I can actually make it "easy" for you to file bankruptcy.  There's nothing "easy" about making the decision to file, and for most people it's a tedious and dreary task, at best, to come up with all the detailed information and documentation you must have to file bankruptcy.  But I can make those things far <em>easier.  </em>

I can help you with the rest, because my whole approach to the practice of bankruptcy law is to make it as easy as possible for you.  I'll make it easy for you to get the information you need to make intelligent decisions -- not only about whether to file, but also about which chapter best suits your needs, what to do with your secured debt, and the many other decisions you have to make.  I'll make it easy to communicate – most folks already say I'm "easy to talk to" in person (and for those who don't, see BECAUSE YOU LIKE ME), and we'll use whatever other communication you find easy.  I'll make it easy for you to get me the information and documents we need to file.  I'll make it easy for you to take the required classes.  It's a long, complicated process, but I'll make it easy for you by breaking it down, one step at a time.
