Nebraska Bankruptcy Overview

The idea of bankruptcy is terrifying. You have no idea of whether you are eligible to file, how the process works, and what the outcome will be. You may be telling yourself “I’ll never have anything again if I file bankruptcy” or “I make too much money and they won’t allow me to file.” Many Nebraska citizens are surprised to find out that this is not the case. Omaha bankruptcy attorney Burke Smith will help you understand how the process works, what to expect and guide you along the way. Contact our Omaha office today.
