Dodge, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/12/2013 -- Bankruptcy filings continue to decline in America and yet 1,261,140 people filed for bankruptcy for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. Sadly, some experts believe the decline results from people being too broke to file for bankruptcy. "Those wishing to file for bankruptcy need to find an attorney who understands the process and how it works to ensure clients get the most value for their money," Tim Bode of The Bankruptcy People states.

What is bankruptcy? Clients must know and understand the answer to this question before proceeding. Bankruptcy involves a legal process overseen by the United States Bankruptcy Code. This code documents the rules and regulations for various types of bankruptcy. "Consumers need to know the various options available to them and which types of bankruptcy he or she may qualify for. A visit to http://thebankruptcypeople.com/what-is-bankruptcy/ answers many of the questions consumers have about the process," Mr. Bode goes on to say.

Once a consumer makes the decision to file for bankruptcy, finding an attorney becomes the next step. Consumers who understand the duties of the bankruptcy attorney and how to go about selecting an attorney discover the process isn't as difficult as many believe it to be. "The Bankruptcy People LLC strives to provide the information customers want and need to make an informed decision about their financial future," Mr. Bode goes on to say.

When a consumer decides he or she wishes to move forward with the process, the next step is to determine which type of bankruptcy better meets his or her needs. Some feel more comfortable making this decision after a consultation with an attorney. Others though wish to have this information before meeting with the attorney for the first time. "Either way is acceptable. Consumers in either situation need to arrive at the attorney's office with any documentation, bills and other paperwork the attorney can use to build a case for bankruptcy. Honesty remains key at all times as the attorney can only help with those debts he or she knows about," Mr. Bode explains.
