Lawyers & Legal Professionals:

About 20 years ago my wife Sharon and I lost everything we owned and filed bankruptcy. We went through the same pounding that your clients go through. I know you do everything you can to make it as easy as possible, but it still hurts. I’ve never forgotten how painful it was for both of us. I feel that pain to this very day.

As a result of my experience, I don’t like bankruptcy. Do I hate it? Yes. I always look for another solution. Do I tell my listeners never to file bankruptcy? No. I have never done that. Does my team send clients to bankruptcy attorneys for advice in this area of the law? Of course. We treat it the same way we treat divorce. We hate that, too, and we look for another solution. But if that becomes the only way out, we want them to get the best help possible and move on to a better life when the process is complete.

Let me be clear about this. I would never beat someone up or get angry with them for filing for bankruptcy, and once that decision has been made, I would do everything in my power to help them, so they can someday enjoy true financial peace. At the end of the day, isn’t that exactly what you would want for your clients?

Sincerely,

Dave Ramsey
