Life After Bankruptcy

Protecting Your Future with the Michigan Bankruptcy Attorney

Many people are concerned about what life will be like after filing for bankruptcy. Usually, they have heard various myths that can cause them to overlook the many benefits of this valuable legal remedy. I am a Michigan bankruptcy lawyer who has helped individuals, business owners and families get rid of their debts through bankruptcy. When a person is able to resolve their debt problems in a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, they will usually feel a tremendous amount of relief that their money troubles are behind them.

One misconception about bankruptcy is that after you complete the process and eliminate your debts, you will no longer be able to obtain credit. The truth is that you can take action as soon as your bankruptcy case has concluded to start improving your credit score, such as obtaining a secured credit card.

In order to rebuild your credit, you will also need to:

Monitor your credit report and correct any errors
Create and stick to a budget
Avoid any mistakes of the past

My firm, Hensel Law Office, PLLC, represents clients in financial trouble, and will confidently guide you through the bankruptcy process. Once your case has concluded, I will continue working with you to ensure that you are doing well financially and that your money problems have been resolved.

The life you will lead after filing for bankruptcy is really up to you, as you have the choice to be proactive in rebounding from the toll that it has taken on your credit score or you can slip into the same bad habits. With solid legal guidance and supportive assistance, however, getting back on track to a successful financial future is easier than you would think.

Getting a Fresh Start

Bankruptcy is one of the few debt relief solutions that can give you a fresh financial start. If your circumstances warrant considering this option, please contact my office to arrange a free consultation.

You made a difficult experience so much easier.
“Back a few years ago, you helped me through a bankruptcy. I still tell people how you made a difficult experience so much easier, with your clarity, support, and friendly approach to the law. I'm still very appreciative for all your help – it really helped to pull me out of a difficult place and put my life back on track.”

Sincerest thanks for all of your help in affording me what I consider a real "fresh start."
“I wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for all of your help in affording me what I consider a real "fresh start". My divorce was unfortunate but definitely a needed change for the better. However, the financial side of things still seemed to keep that past linked, which makes this an enormous weight lifted. I just can't believe the impact it's made on my outlook with...everything.I will be sure to keep your business cards handy to distribute along with highly favorable words of recommendation should the needs arise.Thank you again for your time and professional guidance.”

Michelle
Tom Hensel is definitely the right attorney to call!
“I was referred to Tom Hensel by a friend. My first impression was not only was Tom professional but he's so kind and caring too. He helped my husband and I through an embarrassing, scary situation and definitely made it more positive one. He guided us through our options and helped us make the right decision for us which ended up being a chapter 7 bankruptcy. Tom was so knowledgeable and helped us throughout the whole process. He never once made us feel uncomfortable or dumb when we had questions. He was also very easy to get a hold of when questions would come up and would always return our calls and emails promptly. I strongly recommend Tom to anyone going through this kind of financial nightmare. Do yourselves a favor and call him right away. He will help you get on the right path again. Our only mistake was waiting so long to call him!! When we in court waiting our turn all the other attorneys referred to their clients as "The debtors" Tom on the other hand acknowledged us by our names. Little things mean a lot and that left a lasting impression with us. Tom Thank You again for all your help!!”

Stacy S.
Professional, competent, empathetic attorney.
“My husband and I were forced into a position to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We were devastated and mortified that we had to choose that route, but Tom eased our stress about the filing and court hearing process, as he thoroughly explained what Chapter 7 entails, as well as exactly what to expect during and after the filing process; he was accurate on each point that he advised us on. Tom also kept in frequent contact with us and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that we had while we worked with him. Tom's expertise and tact was invaluable for us, and we will absolutely recommend him to any of our friends and relatives that may find themselves in similar positions to ours. Thank you, Tom, for your dedicated help during this process.”
