Businesses and wealthy individuals in the United States sometimes find themselves unable to pay off their debts in their current financial affairs, and when this happens, bankruptcy may be declared. Some may dread the idea of declaring bankrupt, and may think it means “broke and hopeless.” While bankruptcy is indeed declared when the debtor party is in a poor financial situation, bankruptcy is not entirely negative. In fact, many parties seek debt relief in bankruptcy court, and a bankruptcy attorney may be hired from a bankruptcy law firm to help them. When the debtor goes through court with their creditors, all involved parties may work together to find a productive solution that solves the debt as much as possible.
