Over the years Dantzman & Dantzman has spoken with hundreds of prospective bankruptcy clients. For a variety of reasons, such as feelings of guilt or embarrassment, pride or just plain neglect, it appears that a lot of people wait too long before coming in to get started. Clients often wait until the very last minute before consulting with a bankruptcy lawyer for help. In many instances, if clients would’ve contacted us sooner, we could have prevented them from cashing in their retirement funds, selling off assets or waiting until their car or home was repossessed or foreclosed, in many cases the client’s wages are already being garnished. All of these things could’ve been prevented if they would have come in sooner. That is why Dantzman & Dantzman offers a free consultation, so clients can come in, meet face-to-face with an attorney, get their questions answered, and quickly make an informed decision. So the bottom line is don’t wait. Take a proactive approach to deal with your financial issues now.

Can Bankruptcy Prevent Eviction?
A common question that is often asked is can bankruptcy prevent eviction?
Whether or not your landlord can evict you if you declare bankruptcy depends solely on your specific circumstances. As long as you’re not behind on your rent, and as long as you keep paying your rent, your landlord should never even have to know about your bankruptcy unless you chose to tell them. The truth is that your landlord cannot evict you simply because you filed for bankruptcy.
Don’t Fall For Debt Collectors Who Threaten Arrest!
People often come into our law office to discuss bankruptcy matters. Some individuals are concerned that an arrest warrant may have been issued because they haven’t paid their debts.
They may have received threatening phone calls from debt collectors. The calls are disturbing and frightening for the debtor. The debt collector may have threatened the individual that they may be immediately arrested for non-payment of a debt. Rest assured that this is simply untrue.
The #1 Threat Facing Deeply Indebted Americans: The Debt Settlement Trap
Already struggling with home foreclosures, harsh bank and credit card fees, and other major financial challenges, America’s most deeply indebted consumers are now falling victim to a major new threat: so-called “debt settlement” schemes that promise to make clients “debt free” in a relatively short period of time.

The #1 Threat Facing Deeply Indebted Americans: The Debt Settlement Trap
Already struggling with home foreclosures, harsh bank, and credit card fees, and other major financial challenges, America’s most deeply indebted consumers are now falling victim to a major new threat: so-called “debt settlement” schemes that promise to make clients “debt free” in a relatively short period of time. Unfortunately, most consumers who pursue debt settlement services find themselves facing not relief but even steeper financial losses.
Even the industry acknowledges – though not in its ever-present radio and online advertising–that debt settlement schemes fail to work for about two thirds of clients. Federal and state officials put the debt-settlement success rate even lower – at about one in 10 cases – meaning that the vast majority of unwary and uninformed consumers end up with more red ink, not the promised debt-free outcome.
