Description
The friendly, practical guide for helping debtors get back on their feet Fresh Start Bankruptcy shows debtors how bankruptcy can actually provide a financial fresh start by letting the debtor take control of their financial situation and make it better. Written in a simple, straightforward, and nonintimidating manner, it offers all the information a person needs to file whether they choose to use legal counsel or go it alone. And if they do decide to go it alone, this book is all debtors need to make the process as quick and painless as possible. The book also offers sympathetic advice for dealing with the emotional trauma that the process often leads to through the use of anecdotes from people who have been through bankruptcy and come out stronger than before. Deborah Adams Herman (Columbus, OH) is an attorney with a masters degree in Journalism who has worked both as a book doctor and a ghostwriter. She is also the author of A Simplified Guide to Creating a Personal Will (Wiley: 0-471-26396-6).
