Workers’ compensation attorneys are important By: Darrell Castle When people ask whether they need a workers’ comp lawyer after an on-the-job injury, a lot of times they want to know what the consequences would be if they don’t get one. After all, aren’t they expensive, and wouldn’t it be better to save the money you get for your injuries? First, let’s talk about pay, which is a valid point.

Are you struggling with bills you can’t pay and falling behind? Well then, you may be at risk of a wage garnishment. Any unsecured debts are subject to wage garnishment. And by unsecured debt, I mean debt that’s not backed by collateral. Need to stop wage garnishment immediately? We offer ZERO DOWN TO FILE! Call 901-327-2100 to see if you qualify. You see, when you have a mortgage or car payment, there’s property the bank can take back from you — your house or car respectively — if you don’t make your payments. That’s “secured” debt. There’s no such property with unsecured debt, which is why the creditor resorts to wage garnishment. The most common examples of unsecured debt collected through wage
Yesterday the city of Detroit filed Chapter 9 bankruptcy in the largest municipal bankruptcy in history. Detroit has very few options moving forward. I’d like to discuss a couple. Detroit is the best example ever of a failed new socialist model. Sooner or later, as we can see from its situation, debts have to be repaid by someone – either the borrower or lender. You can’t keep buying votes, labor peace, etc., without facing the consequences. As I’m writing this, the city still incurs a $380 million deficit every year with total debt of $17-20 billion. How can that possibly be right? Who besides other government agencies would buy their bankrupt, never-to-be-paid bonds? Michigan has been bailing out Detroit for
By: Darrell Castle A good bankruptcy attorney can change your life. If your financial struggles have caused you to fall behind on your bills, that debt can lead to serious stress – emotionally, mentally and physically. It could be your fault that you fell behind on your payments either by irresponsible spending or not taking care of your money. However, often times an unexpected event like a medical emergency or a sudden job loss can be the tipping point for you financially. If you hadn’t saved up enough money to sustain that loss, then missed payments on bills can quickly begin and the debt adds up quickly. You don’t have to live enslaved to that debt. By filing for bankruptcy,

In fact, on average, a DUI is going to cost you about $10,000. And that’s assuming you just got pulled over – no injuries
By: Darrell Castle A bankruptcy “discharge” means the debtor is released of all of his or her debts. If you’re behind on your bills and in debt, there are two ways a discharge can happen: You can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This is a complete discharge of debts without any payments toward the debt. That means, once you file and everything is processed – which takes a few months – then you’re relieved of all of those debts. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is good for discharging your unsecured debts (debts not backed by collateral) like your credit card and medical bills. However, if you want to keep your house and car (secured debts – debts backed by collateral) then you
