Why Did You Ask if We're Married when we Talked About Filing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Petition in Arizona?

Simmer down.

I don't want to know about your personal lives, exactly.

But you have two separate and distinct last names, and you don't wear wedding rings.

I don't care if you're doing what my parents would have called "Living in Sin". Or

what my generation, 30 years ago, would have called "Ordinary Life".

I care because I can only file a joint bankruptcy petition in your case (that is, a Bankruptcy

Petition for both of you) if you are a married couple.

If you aren't, there are going to be two filing fees, and two retainers.

So I guess I really do care if you're married.

Because I'm trying to save you a couple of bucks.

I brought a matter to Joseph and he not only answered my questions but went above and beyond helping me. Instead of taking my money at first and asking questions later, he did quite the opposite. I've never had a more pleasant experience with a lawyer talking to me in a language I could understand.
