Excellent book
I read this book (borrowed through the library) not because of financial difficulties, but because I wanted to brush up on some technicalities of bankruptcy.In the past I've had clients take bankruptcy and I've had to deal with the bankrutpcy proceedings.Although I do not currently do this sort of work I expect to enter another profession in the future where knowledge of the bankruptcy law and the individual states exemptions will make my job much easier.This book is an excellent overview of the bankrupcty law and I highly recommend it to anybody who is considering taking bankruptcy or deals with bankruptcy either directly or indirectly in their job.

Bankruptcy - Nolo Press guide

Great, Fantastic.
This is really a must have.I handled my own chapter 13, start to finish with this one. Even handled the emergency filing to get mean ole nasty pasty creditors that were harassing me intentionally off my case. I was even able to file a complaint with them thru the bankruptcy courts.This book references this, and I called the clerks office, and checked out web sites, and this book gave me the confidence, to file a complaint against these creditors. The interderagatorys are fanstasic.THese really helped me out, at my creditors meetings. I was able to even able to pursue a wage garnishment out of my soon to b X's pay check. This was the only way I was going to keep my stuff.I really enjoyed I must say representing my self. It is really not that hard, and more of u folks out there need to try it. They really don't chew ya up and spit ya out like everyone believes. It was not that stress ful, after everything was filed. Actually, It was nice to bask in the quiteness of the emeregency filing. My phone quit ringing. It was soooo nice.This one belongs rite up there with my bible.It was a thrill I must say to stand in line to file my paper work, schedules, and yes, I even filed a motion.! It was great standing there next to some of my towns high power bankruptcy attorneys. ONly thing, I have to say, when attorneys, start offering free advise, have a pen ready to write.I also learned be nice as pie to the clerks. They are so busy, and swamped with work. U will be glad you had patience. Patience is a virtue on this one as far as filings go. THe creditors meetings went well, I even drafted my own propsals of what I wanted, to happend. I even learned how to contest the amount of my truck, and did so, and requested the interest rate be dropped. I got just what I wanted.It actually was not as a terrible as we are taught in society to think. Oh my she/he file bankruptcy. It was not that bad, and also the bankruptcy court I went to, had a class on how to balance your budget, and it was very informational. Dom't feel bad if you have to do thissomeday. It happens to the bestest of us. IF you do this is definitely the book you wanna seek. I have compared up to some of the competetions, and I felt this one was the easy one to use. Plainest english. Simplest terms. I didnot feel intimidated at all by this book.This book covered all the bases, and then some. Others books I feel were not as complete as this one was. I researched books and sat down and looked thru them at my local book store. THis one won hands down. I must say, it is flexible, easy to tote with you, easy to put in babys bag, and easy to tote on bike with grocerys, and easy to clean up. I spilled coffee on mine... wipes up great.Later, Betty Hogges. :) ... Read more

Splendid
This book is possibly the most accesible law book that I have ever come upon.It is not only appealing to those in the legal profession, but to those who are not.Professor Gross's insights and conclusions are refreshing to read in the face of our Nations ubsession with casting the debtor as a lazy peron who overlooked his or her duties.I recently saw Professor Gross on CNN and after hearing her speak, I immediatly went and picked up a copy for myself.I would solemly recommend this book to anyone interested or involved in the bankruptcy system.

Perhaps one of the greatest law books I've ever read
Professor Gross's book is truly spectacular.Not only is it appealing to members of the legal profession, but it is also an immeasurable aid to those who are not.Professor Gross's conclusions are well thought out and extremely well articulated.I recently saw her on CNN, and I would reccomend that anyone who is in debt and considering bankruptcy purchase this book. ...

Good info
I found this to be a great overview of a complex set of laws. It's broken down by subtitles which makes it easy for the reader to quickly find the most relevant answers. Seems to be written from an objective standpoint, providing the pro's and the con's.

bankruptcy facts
It appears that very few people really understand the dark side of bankruptcy. Yes, there's a good reason for a bankruptcy law, but it's not a panacea and there are many negative implications that people don't understand. This booklet really helps the reader make a more informed decision, and may help a lot of people avoid making a bad mistake. Bottom line? Only people who simply can never reasonably repay their debt should file bankruptcy. Nothing's free, and there are prices for bankruptcy. ... Read more
