A Brief Respite...

Amy and I are going to be going to lunch soon, before the deluge of work begins again this afternoon.

I'm getting calls out my ears for bankruptcy cases, and have had five appointments each of the past three days for new cases. I've had to cut off new cases on Monday so I can devote enough time to each case without running myself ragged.

This is pretty much the same for every bankruptcy attorney around - everyone is rushing to file before the new laws go into effect on October 17.

"This is pretty much the same for every bankruptcy attorney around - everyone is rushing to file before the new laws go into effect on October 17."

No doubt.

I'm wondering (if you can say so): Were most of these cases preventable, as in credit card debt?

Some are, some aren't. I've had several pretty bad cases of uninsured people with large amounts of debt pop up now.

It looks like people who have been idly considering filing for bankruptcy have been spurred into doing it by the new laws. Usually I have to nag and cajole people into bringing in documents, but now they're much more prepared, since they know they have to file by the 17th.

I files six cases this week, compared to six in a normal month.
