A Massachusetts bankruptcy lawyer will help you prepare and present your case in front of the Court. As a debtor going to the United States Bankruptcy Court for Massachusetts for help, you are expected to make a full and honest disclosure of your financial affairs. In exchange for this honest disclosure, the Court has the authority to grant a discharge of the majority of the debts that you owe. Bankruptcy discharge resembles a shield that protects you from your creditors. Bankruptcy Code is a federal law, but certain aspects of it apply differently in when bankruptcy case is filed in Massachusetts. Under the Bankruptcy Code and the laws of Massachusetts, bankruptcy is not a personal sacrifice. Rather, it is a privilege granted to an honest but unfortunate debtor. Many famous Americans sought bankruptcy protection, including Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant; Henry Ford and Walt Disney; Milton Hershey, the king of candy; and H.J. Heinz, the father of Ketchup. More recently, TV host Larry King and the actress Kim Basinger sought bankruptcy relief.
