Why John
Bankruptcy should not feel like a conveyor belt.
Alta Legal is intentionally smaller than the high-volume firms. The point is not to have the biggest advertising budget. The point is for you to know who your lawyer is and be able to reach him.

Historical experience and aggregate results. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
No pressure
The consultation is allowed to end with “don’t file.”
Bankruptcy can be an extraordinarily effective tool, but it is not automatically the right answer. Timing, assets, income, secured debt, taxes, pending lawsuits, and what you want to keep all matter. A useful consultation should explain the tradeoffs—including when waiting or using another option makes more sense.
