San Antonio has been hard hit by the recession. San Antonio bankruptcy lawyers are having a very busy year. Busier than last year. And next year for San Antonio bankruptcy lawyers looks to be busier still. But they are not taking any pleasure in this. In fact, it can get distressing to see so many fellow citizens in such trouble. Most San Antonio bankruptcy lawyers are working client by client to get their clients financial lives in order and thus help the local economy to stabilize. It is a daunting challenge, because so many are in financial distress. Most people have gotten in this position because of a job loss or a hike i credit card interest rates or a ballooning mortgage payment. They are surprised to be such a position. Until recently they were solid bill paying citizens. But maybe a job loss o unexpected medical bill put them into a bad position. There can be many reasons, but only a few solutions. Finding a lawyer is not too hard. Ask your family or friends and you might be surprised to find that they have had to hire a lawyer to help them reorganize their finances. If your family and friends have been lucky or smart, and they have no referrals for you, then go to the internet. Most lawyers have web sites with detailed information. And bar associations have web sites as well. Your lawyer may advise that you file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If so, then Chapter 7 will have you sell your assets and repay your creditors. Chapter 13 will allow you to keep some assets and set a repayment schedule for your creditors. Or the advice might be to get a second job or sell some toys. Either way, this will be your first step towards getting back on solid financial footing.
