Maryland Bankruptcy Attorneys

A Note From David L. Ruben, Esquire:

Ever wonder how you’re going to make it through the month on your income? Bills come in, paychecks get eaten up faster than ever, and it seems as if there is no end in sight. If it’s any consolation, you’re just like millions of people around the country. Filing for bankruptcy in Maryland is a way off of the financial treadmill. You were taught that part of being good and honest person is that you pay your bills – no matter what. That’s why filing bankruptcy just seems…..wrong. But here’s the thing: bankruptcy was created not as a dishonest way to get out of paying your bills, but rather as a way to help people get back into financial shape. In fact, Congress passed the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 to enable people to get out from under the strain of overwhelming debt in order to re-enter the stream of commerce. In other words, Congress specifically created the bankruptcy laws in order to help people get back on their feet and rejoin society. You’ll never know which option is right for you until you talk with someone who understands the pros and cons of all of them. Take the first step in getting answers by setting up a free, no-obligation phone, e-mail or office consultation.

Bankruptcy is Your Constitutional Right!

  • Have you received threatening or bothersome phone calls from bill collectors at home or at work?
  • Does your credit card debt appear to be never ending?
  • Are you afraid of potential wage garnishments?
  • Are fearful of losings your home to a foreclosure?
  • Are you afraid of having your vehicle repossessed?
If you have answered “Yes” to any of the above questions, then the Maryland Bankruptcy Center is prepared to help you. We can offer you debt relief and immediate help and protection. Stop living a life of stress and worry. CHAPTER 7 and CHAPTER 13 allow people like you who are being financially and emotionally ruined by overdue bills, harassing debt collectors, and the stress that comes from knowing that you are in over your head. Whether due to job loss, illness, addiction, divorce or maybe even just poor spending habits, filing Bankruptcy can help. Filing bankruptcy can help with debt problems and help people get back on track, successfully obtain mortgages, car loans and even new credit. Maryland bankruptcy attorneys David L. Ruben and Stacey A. Rogan have handled thousands of bankruptcy matters, including chapter 7 and chapter 13 cases.
