Send us a text

We sit down with Bankruptcy Attorney,  Darin Wisehart, to unravel the stereotypes around filing for bankruptcy, and the importance of viewing bankruptcy as an ethical and legal right, rather than a shameful last-resort. In this interview, Darin discusses:

• Bankruptcy is something that can happen to anybody.
• Understanding the stigmas around bankruptcy that can make people feel as if they are doing something immoral or unethical.
• The many situations beyond a person’s control that can lead to bankruptcy. 
• Bankruptcy isn’t some sort of scam; it’s lawful, ethical and moral. 
• The bankruptcy system was put in place by Congress as a safety net to catch people who have fallen and need help getting back up.
• Bankruptcy is an important part of the economic system and exists for a reason; it's available for anyone who truly needs the relief.
• Why you SHOULDN’T feel ashamed about filing for bankruptcy.
