Bankruptcy Indiana

If ever I forget how important it is for me, as a debt consolidation lawyer offering bankruptcy services in Indiana, to stay up on the state of the job market, I’m reminded the moment I step foot into the Zuckerberg bankruptcy law offices to meet with a client.  The very first thing on the mind of any debtor who lost a job, I know without even asking, is how to stop bill collectors.

In many instances, I and all the other good bankruptcy attorneys in Indiana find, the clients’ problems are related to a job loss.  That’s why I periodically use these Bankruptcy in Indiana article to bring readers up to date on companies in Indiana that are hiring or firing workers.

From Inside Indiana Business, I know that, two and a half weeks ago, more than 600 people turned out for the job fair in South Bend.  And no wonder, remarked one of my Columbus bankruptcy lawyer colleagues. According to News and Tribune.com, Indiana lost 10,200 jobs in June and July of this year, and we had the greatest amount of cuts over the past year of any state in the nation.

From our end, we see the results in the form of more clients needing payday loan debt help and help to stop foreclosure on their homes, all stemming back to lack of steady income from jobs.

Having practiced Indiana bankruptcy law for close to 25 years, I’m very proud of the fact that we’re working hard in our state to rebuild jobs.  The Indiana Plan, for example, is designed to create opportunities for minorities in the construction industry.

Meanwhile, my Bloomington bankruptcy lawyer colleagues were happy to learn that tech firm Next Wave Systems is expanding there, creating up to 60 new jobs, while the attorneys in the Zuckerberg bankruptcy law offices in Columbus celebrated the news that Stant Corporation in Connersville is adding 59 new jobs.

As an Indianapolis bankruptcy attorney, of course, I was really excited to learn of two coming expansions: Old Dominion Freight Lines, with 183 new jobs to be created, and Angie’s List, with 500 new jobs coming.

No, I remind myself and all the good bankruptcy attorneys in Indiana with whom I work – the bad times are far from over.  But knowing of all these planned job expansions goes a long way towards cheering me up.  I can never forget how important good jobs are to anyone emerging from personal bankruptcy in Indiana!
