Bankruptcies in Eastern District of California Hit All Time Highs
Sacramento Bakruptcy Attorney remarks on Eastern California bankruptcies....
While the nation has seen a 32 percent rise in bankruptcy filings as compared to 2008, in the Eastern District, the percentage increase is even greater. News sources report that Modesto, for example, has seen a 50% rise in bankruptcy filings. Many local attorneys claim that unemployment plays a significant role in this rising number. For example, counties such as Calavaras and Toulumne; both counties within the jurisdiction of the Eastern District, have unemployment rates of 15% and 13 percent respectively. In these areas, much like most of the nation, signs of economic recovery seem nonexistent.
All too often, when a client comes into our office they are cashed out their retirement or taken huge cash advances to be able to keep their home from being foreclosed upon. While giving up your home can be painful, debtors are advised not to cash out retirements or use credit cards to pay the mortgage. This is because retirement accounts, in particular are protected from creditors getting their hands on it.
Those contemplating bankruptcy in most circumstances need it and should seek the advice of an attorney. Many attorneys are willing to meet clients to assess their situation, and give the consumer some options, one of which may be bankruptcy.
