Zero Down Bankruptcy Financing
Generally, bankruptcy firms require all the fees to be paid up front.
Zooberg Law Firm offers a zero money down financing option for certain Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases.
This is particularly helpful in cases where the client is facing a garnishment, or having trouble coming up with the funds up front and needs immediate help.
Zooberg Law Firm is able to accomplish this by using separate contracts for both pre-petition and post-petition services. This process is know as “bifurcation.”
