NEW MEXICO · DEBT QUESTIONS
Settlement or bankruptcy?
Compare options against your whole situation.
The right questions start with your debts, income, property, goals and pending cases. One balance or an online estimate cannot settle the choice.
Call the office ↗
A settlement discussion
Ask which debts an offer addresses, whether the payments are realistic, what happens to other accounts and which terms need written confirmation. Include the cost of professional help when comparing alternatives.
A bankruptcy consultation
Ask how the type of debt, property, household finances, prior filings and timing affect an individual review. The firm’s 505Bankruptcy resource explains common questions and provides educational tools; those tools do not determine eligibility.
Prepare without choosing first
You can tell the office you are unsure which option fits. After screening, a common financial overview can help the office identify the consultation you need. Reading this website or calling the office does not start a bankruptcy case or stop collection.
