Need to qualify for a Washington Bankruptcy?

Our Seattle, WA bankruptcy attorneys can help.

Qualifying under the new bankruptcy laws.

When many of our Seattle bankruptcy clients first call our offices, they have questions about whether or not they can still qualify for bankruptcy under the new laws.  In our experience, the question is a resounding YES!  The new bankruptcy laws have made the process of qualifying for and filing a Washington State bankruptcy more difficult and more complicated. 

Our Seattle bankruptcy attorneys have filed thousands of Washington State bankruptcy petitions since the new laws were enacted.  In our experience, over 90% of people who would have qualified for bankruptcy under the old laws still qualify under the new laws.  This is because the fundamental ability to qualify for bankruptcy remains an inability to pay your bills and other obligations given your income.  For the overwhelming majority of our clients, their ability to qualify for a Washington State bankruptcy has not been impacted by the new bankruptcy laws.

Our Seattle bankruptcy lawyers can help you determine if you are able to qualify for a Washington State bankruptcy under the new laws.  The new bankruptcy laws were intended to prevent and stop abuse of the bankruptcy laws.  But the simple truth is that most people were not abusing the bankruptcy laws.  They were simply in a desperate financial situation.  The same remains true today.  As a result, most people can still qualify for bankruptcy protection and relief under the new bankruptcy laws.
