Bankruptcy Blog: Why Bother To Read One?

By Joseph McDaniel, Esq.

This bankruptcy blog is a labor of love, started about two and a half years ago, and the last time I checked I'd discussed about five hundred different consumer and small business bankruptcy topics, from the bankruptcy discharge to the automatic stay to the bankruptcy estate to the various bankruptcy trustees and the Judges for the District of Arizona Bankruptcy Court; and the ever popular-first meeting of creditors.

And recently I've started producing a series of educational consumer bankruptcy videos, and that's been an interesting process, spelled remarkably frustrating and embarrassing! Because some of my first educational bankruptcy videos were awful, with a capital awe! But they've been getting better, I'm told, and I plan to keep working on that bankruptcy law education and resources project by way of educational bankruptcy videos.

And my potential bankruptcy clients have said some nice things about this little amateur bankruptcy blog, so I'll probably keep at it, during my plentiful spare time during this economic depression.

That said, there are a lot of other folks out there who generate useful bankruptcy information on a daily basis, and I'm going to try to spend a little more time tracking down other bankruptcy lawyer's bankruptcy blogs, and introducing you to their takes on bankruptcy law and practice during a depression, even if they aren't in Arizona!

And there are also a good number of excellent educational bankruptcy videos for consumers being produced by other bankruptcy lawyers around the country, and when I find a particularly good bankruptcy video by some other lawyer, I'll let you know, and I'll let you know why I like it!

Now, one primary reason for you to read a bankruptcy blog is simple; if a bankruptcy blog is written by a real, live bankruptcy attorney, and not by Casper the Bankruptcy Ghost Blogger, you'll be able to figure out who the lawyer is and whether you can stand their personality after reading their blog, or watching their educational bankruptcy videos.

And that's a useful thing, because even though you don't need to be a fan of your Arizona bankruptcy attorney, you probably ought to have a halfway decent level of ability to communicate with him or her, because insolvency and bankruptcy are just plain stressful for everybody involved, from a great bankruptcy paralegal, like Heidi the Bankruptcy Angel, to a brilliant young bankruptcy lawyer in Arizona, like my associate Nina the Unpronounceable, and even on occasion to mature and experienced bankruptcy attorneys in Arizona.

Like Yours Truly.

But if we all try hard, and work hard as a group, and if you do your part, we'll try to do our part to get you through the stressful process and on to your fresh start.

That's the goal; let's see how it goes.
