Filing Bankruptcy in North Atlanta

If you have questions about filing bankruptcy in Georgia, we at The Troglin Firm in North Atlanta offer a free lawyer consultation to give you answers.

During your consultation, you will speak with William "Mike" Troglin, a bankruptcy attorney with more than 28 years of experience. In order to determine if filing bankruptcy is the right solution to your debt problems, please be prepared to provide Mr. Troglin the following information:

  • Do you own real estate? If so, when was it purchased and how much did you pay? What is the amount of the mortgage you have on the property? What do you think the current value of your property is, and how did you arrive at that amount? Are your payments up to date or delinquent?
  • Do you own a car? If so, what is the year and model? Do you owe money on the vehicle? Are your payments up to date or delinquent?
  • Do you have any other secured debt? Examples of secured debt are televisions, furniture and appliances that you buy — the retailer can repossess the item if you fall behind on your payments.
  • How much credit card debt do you have? Have you used any credit cards in the last 90 days? Have you taken any cash advances in the last six months?
  • Do you have any student loan debt? If so, how much?
  • Do you owe any back taxes? If so, for what tax years? Did you file taxes in those years?
  • Do you pay or receive any child support or alimony?
  • How often does your employer pay you, and what is your average take-home pay per payday? If you are married, what is your spouse's average take-home pay?
  • Are you dealing with foreclosure, repossession, creditor harassment, garnishments, lawsuits or judgments from prior lawsuits? Filing bankruptcy can put an immediate stop to these.

Based on your answers to these questions, lawyer Mike Troglin can compare your expenses to your income and make a quick determination if you can solve your debt problems by filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
