Insolvency Lawyers

Insolvency Lawyers can give advice on bankruptcy matters but will have to refer you to a trustee if a bankruptcy or a consumer proposal is the best way for you to get a fresh financial start.

Licensed Insolvency Trustees will if they feel you have a contentious issue, refer you to an Insolvency Lawyer.

Trustees have a very strict and rigorous code of ethics and are also regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy.

This further motivates trustees to refer you to an Insolvency Lawyer if they feel you need one.

If you have a very complicated financial issue and a lot of money at stake then, it would be prudent for you to retain an Insolvency lawyer as added protection and to give you the peace of mind that you have received an expert second opinion on what course you should take to resolve your financial problems.

Another reason you might want to retain an Insolvency Lawyer is if you have issues that might have walked a fine line between right and wrong pertaining to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.

For example, an Insolvency Lawyer can represent you at a Creditors’ Meeting and advise you if you should answer certain questions posed.

An Insolvency Lawyer can also represent you if the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy elects to question you.

Insolvency lawyers can also represent you at court if your bankruptcy discharge is being opposed.

If you have any questions about this or other aspects of bankruptcy or consumer proposals you can set up a FREE consultation with our trustees, who are in every province and territory in Canada.

I was feeling overwhelmed by my credit debt, constantly receiving calls and letters from debt collectors, which caused a great deal of stress. It seemed like there was no way out of this situation. However, I discovered Bankruptcy Canada while listening to my local talk radio station. This organization proved to be friendly, empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional, with extensive experience in their field.

During our initial meeting, they took the time to understand my debt and financial circumstances. They explained the various options available to me and helped create a personalized plan that would be most beneficial for my situation. With their assistance, I was able to avoid declaring bankruptcy by presenting a consumer proposal to my creditors. Fortunately, my proposal was accepted, and I am extremely relieved to finally be free of debt, all thanks to BankruptcyCanada. The burden on my shoulders feels significantly lighter now, and I truly believe that Bankruptcy Canada has the most skilled specialists in debt relief.
