I Filed for Bankruptcy! Is My Life Over Now?

Here at Pixton Bankruptcy Law, our Alameda clients often come to our office wondering whether filing a chapter 7 or a chapter 13 will basically destroy their lives. We say with confidence that it won’t. Our clients are often surprised at how upbeat Attorney James Pixton is as he carefully explains to each client how the bankruptcy process works. He absolutely believes that bankruptcy can change his clients’ lives for the better. That’s one of the reasons why James Pixton loves being a bankruptcy lawyer! Give him a call at (510) 451-6200. Listen to his enthusiasm!

So does bankruptcy have any effect on our clients’ lives? Sure, but usually less than they think. Yes, your credit score will take a hit, but then it will start making a quick turnaround once your debts are wiped out. Bankruptcy can stay on your credit report as long a ten years, but that doesn’t mean that you have bad credit for the entire ten years. The older the bankruptcy is, the less impact it has on the score.

Attorney James Pixton keeps in touch with many of his former clients who have gone through bankruptcy. He has seen many of them buy homes only a few years after the completion of their case. Keep in mind, however, that Pixton Bankruptcy has no way to guarantee similar results for all its Alameda clients. We just want you to know what’s possible.

Call us at (510) 451-6200 for a no-cost appointment with Alameda bankruptcy attorney James Pixton. If you prefer, you can email him at james@pixlaw.com. He types pretty fast, so he’ll get right back to you.
