If you are planning to file an individual bankruptcy, be prepared to discuss your finances openly and in-depth with us. One of the important discussions we must have is how much your income is and where it comes from. For the purposes of filing a bankruptcy case, your household income can include much more than just your salary. Examples of sources of income for bankruptcy purposes include...

Gross wages. If you are employed, you must include everything you earn. This includes your salary, tips, overtime, bonuses, and commissions. It is important to discuss the timing of receiving large bonuses or commissions because it may impact your eligibility to file a Chapter 7 case.
Business income. If you own a business, the profit or loss you receive from it must be considered.
Rental income. If you own an investment property, the profit or loss you receive from it must be considered.
Pension and retirement income. Any income you are getting from payouts from your retirement account or pension must be included.
Domestic support payments. If you receive child support or alimony, it must be included.
Unemployment compensation. Unemployment benefits received must be disclosed.

The above list is not all-inclusive, and there may be other sources of income to consider. Once we have determined the amount of your household income, we can determine which type of bankruptcy you can file.

Please keep in mind that every case is different. If you have questions about filing personal bankruptcy or how to calculate your household income, and you would like to schedule a no-cost consultation, please contact our office by completing the form on this website or calling us at 954-466-0541.

      I had a wonderful experience with Jonathan Leiderman at LSS Law. Not only is he well experienced, but he is also very patient and supportive throughout a tough time. I appreciate that he takes such a hands-on approach where there is no going through office staff and waiting for a reply. He deals with you one-on-one, and he is your single point of contact. He takes time to answer all your questions and takes the time to ensure that you understand every aspect. He is highly communicative and does so in a timely manner.... I always got a response within minutes or hours, at the latest 24 hours. I don't know how he does it all, but I am grateful that I had him to represent me! I highly recommend Jonathan and LSS Law!

      I am really greatful to attorney Jonathen Leiderman for patiently working with me through a very stressful period of ambivalence, and then towards resolution of a difficult predicament. His professionalism and empathy were exceptional. I would recomend him to all who need similar services.

Jonathan is quite splendid to deal with and has been an ideal representative for my case. Well prepared, great attention to detail, and very empathetic to my needs. Superior communication skills and gets back with you, anticipating your needs. Worth every penny!

Tavy Bastos

I had a great experience. Jonathan was very attentive, patient and knowledgeable. I had consulted with a different office before that was subpar and didn't provide all of the options provided by this one. I felt secure and in good hands with the representation.

Jonathan and Anne were wonderful and I thank you for helping me with my new beginning.
