EIDL Loans

Many small business owners got EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loans) during COVID.  Many of those people are unable to repay those loans, especially the larger ones.  These loans were administered through the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the SBA is now coming after people to repay these loans.  Many of these business owners are now […]

Student Loans In Bankruptcy

You may now discharge student loans in bankruptcy. As most of you reading this know, you can’t discharge these in bankruptcy unless you can prove that repaying them would cause you a major hardship.  In the past, that hardship was extremely difficult to prove, so hardship discharges for student loans in bankruptcies were rare.

Personal Injury & Dislike Of Medical Treatments

Do you have a personal injury, but also have a dislike of medical treatments or doctors?  You’re not alone, and for good reason!  Medical treatments can be painful and otherwise unpleasant, and prescription drugs and treatment drugs like cortisone may have bad side effects.  It also takes time and effort to go to the doctor, […]

Demand Adequate Medical Services!

Crashing Economy

Are you concerned that the crashing economy will put you in a position where you can’t pay your bills and end up with debts you can’t pay?  Things are starting to look rather treacherous economically.  Banks are collapsing, tech companies are laying off tens of thousands of workers, and even those with jobs are unable […]
