What We Consider Before Recommending Bankruptcy

Not every financial hardship leads directly to bankruptcy—and it shouldn’t. Some clients may not meet the income or asset requirements for Chapter 7. Others want to avoid it for personal or cultural reasons. We respect that, and we approach each situation without assumptions.

When you come to us, we’ll look at several key factors before discussing any legal route:

  • Your income and expenses
  • The type of debt you’re carrying
  • Whether legal action has already been taken by creditors
  • Your short- and long-term financial goals
  • Your comfort level with different strategies

Once we understand your full picture, we’ll outline your options—bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy alike—so you can move forward with knowledge, not fear.

Common Bankruptcy Alternatives

There are several options available for those who want to avoid bankruptcy or don’t qualify for it. At Law Office of Andrew S. Cho, we’ll help you evaluate these alternatives and determine which one works best for your situation. 

Common options include:

  • Debt consolidation
  • Debt settlement
  • Negotiation with creditors
  • Credit counseling
  • Debt management plans

Some of these options can be handled on your own—but having an experienced attorney on your side often results in better outcomes and greater protection.
