Law 101: Bankruptcy

Are you struggling with debt and looking for answers? Want to learn more about bankruptcy?

Join us for a legal information session with Dave Gormley of Southern Maryland Law, where you’ll gain essential knowledge about bankruptcy law and how it may provide relief from overwhelming financial burdens.

Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals, businesses, and other entities to seek relief from outstanding debts and make a fresh financial start. However, navigating the complexities of bankruptcy can be challenging without the right information. This program is designed to help participants better understand their options, rights, and the steps involved in the bankruptcy process.

Attorney Dave Gormley will break down the different types of bankruptcy, including Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (reorganization), discuss the impact of filing for bankruptcy, and explain what to expect during the legal proceedings. Whether you're considering bankruptcy, currently in the process, or simply want to be informed about this important legal tool, this workshop will provide valuable insights in an easy-to-understand format.

Take control of your financial future—join us for this informative and empowering session!

This program is in partnership with the Charles County Bar Association.
