Bankruptcy

Who's Happy about this Economy?

By Bill McLeod, Esq.

Yesterday, I met with a couple where we discussed their need to file bankruptcy. The husband expressed embarrassment at their decision to file and (like many of my clients) expressed concern that their employer or coworkers could learn about it. I did not think it was a possibility, and I told them so. But they told me something I felt the need to share with you.

Apparently, at his place of employment everyone is just happy and feeling fine (according to the client). Everyone has nice cars, nice houses and dresses well. No one there could possibly be considering bankruptcy. When my client looked at me and said ?no one at my company is going through this?, I felt I had no choice but to ask him ?how the $%@# do you know that??
