Historically there was something of a stigma about bankruptcy. Not any more.

Bankruptcy is now just one of numerous ways in which you can deal with debts that you can't pay. Bankruptcy can give you a fresh start (inevitably with a few restrictions) and allow you to move forward with your life.

Bankruptcy usually lasts for a year. Only the High Court can declare you bankrupt, after a bankruptcy petition has been submitted.

Many people find the prospect of going to Court a daunting experience, and that's where we can help.

Once you're sure that bankruptcy is the best option for you, we can take the weight of your shoulders. We'll prepare the paperwork, lodge it with the Court, and we'll represent you at the hearing - in fact, usually you don't even need to attend. All you have to focus on is making the fresh start that you want and need.
