Avoiding Bankruptcy and Debt Predators

In a tough economy, there are people and businesses that will aggressively take advantage of the uncertainty and fear ordinary people face during a financial crisis. These predators, like snakes in the tall grass, will wait for the moment when they can strike, often profiting from your misfortune at the expense of your future.

Arizona Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorneys

At the Law Offices of Farnsworth Mortensen, PLLC in Tucson, Phoenix, and Mesa, we work to steer Arizona families away from people who will take advantage of their problems. We know that when you are struggling to make ends meet, promises of quick solutions are tempting, but too good to be true answers can actually make your situation worse.

Before you talk to someone whose primary interest is to take away whatever money you have left, contact our experienced Arizona bankruptcy professionals.

Who Can You Trust?

Late night ads promising a get-money-quick scenario can be tempting. They can also be absolutely devastating to your finances at the worst possible time. In a state like Arizona where jobs can be hard to come by at times and the housing collapse has hurt tens of thousands of families, these predators are a plague.

Examples of things to watch out for include:

  • Law firms that work in volume, focusing on quantity rather than quality
  • Credit counseling organizations that are actually run or supported by the credit industry
  • Creditors that try to muscle you into loan modifications that don't address your problems
  • Businesses that try to force you into a short sale so they can profit on the loss of your home
  • Scams that promise to buy your mortgage and leave you facing eviction

Our team not only works with clients to put legitimate and targeted bankruptcy solutions to work, creating long-term solutions to difficult problems, but we also have been asked by the state bar to present our approach and knowledge to other lawyers. We have seen the damage that predators can do, and we fight to keep clients informed and protected every single day.
