On October 17, 2005, Congress amended the Bankruptcy Code by specifying (among other things) that attorneys must make certain disclosures to potential clients before offering bankruptcy advice. When you visit us to discuss bankruptcy laws and your financial crisis, we will ask you to sign an acknowledgement of receipt of disclosures and instructions as mandated by Section 527(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. We will then explain how to determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy under the "means testing" guidelines of the new bankruptcy laws.
