Co-founders of Second Start, Jamie Ryke and Andrew Thav, are actively trying to change the way fellow Americans view bankruptcy. Their main goal in starting Second Start was to not only assist clients through their financial hardships, but to inform and educate them about their options in order to protect them from choices that will only cause further damages.

There are times when no matter what you do to protect yourself and plan ahead, you may still find yourself backed into a monetarily destitute corner. Understandably so, it is in those desperate ties that you become weighted down by stress and depression and your health, work ethic, and family life may suffer and be affected as a result. One thing leads to another and your burden grows heavier and heavier.

Big Changes in Bankruptcy Law
A major reform of the bankruptcy system took effect on October 17, 2005. The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 presents additional challenges to people facing financial problems who are considering filing bankruptcy.
The new law marks the biggest change to bankruptcy law since 1978. It prohibits some people from filing for bankruptcy altogether. The law makes it harder for those who qualify to come up with manageable repayment plans, and provides fewer protections from collectors than the prior law. Nevertheless, you still have many legal options to resolve your financial problems.
Second Start bankruptcy attorneys are committed to assisting people who are suffering financial hardship. Our legal services, bankruptcy filing and debt relief agency expertise, are available to anyone who is over-burdened by debt.
If you need legal advice call our bankruptcy law firm Second Start.
Consumer Bankruptcy Protection
United States bankruptcy laws are intended to give debtors a new financial beginning by relieving most of their debts (under Chapter 7 bankruptcy); or providing the debtor the opportunity - under the oversight of a bankruptcy trustee - to develop a payment plan (under Chapter 13 bankruptcy).
Our bankruptcy and debt-relief attorneys have years of experience handling thousands of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.
