Client Being Sued

By Wine Country Family Law, P.C. on July 18th, 2020 in

My client came to me when it was apparent that the civil lawsuit filed against my client was not going to go away on its own. My unemployed client knew that paying the legal fees in order to defend such a suit was not an option. In addition, my client had substantial credit card and other bills that were not being paid. I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy for my client. The civil suit against my client was dismissed due to the bankruptcy and my client discharged $12,000 in other unsecured debt.
