My bankruptcy case was dismissed, now what?
After a dismissal, your bankruptcy case will be closed. The bankruptcy will be over unless/until a motion is made and granted reopening the case. Depending on the reason your case was dismissed, you may/may not be able to file another bankruptcy case right away. If you are able to file again, the length of the Automatic Stay might be an issue for you.

Don’t file a Chapter 7 unless you have 500k in debt.
That’s pretty much what a radio show host recently said. We can’t see how this is good advice. There is no minimum amount of debt that one must have in order to file bankruptcy! Even more disconcerting, was the fact that the host appeared to be offering some sort of debt settlement guide or program they created.
First, Debt settlement can work, but you need money to settle! You have to be able to make a lump sum or monthly payments.
Secondly, we have had clients with very little debt file bankruptcy. Many individuals file bankruptcy to prevent home foreclosure, head off an impending lawsuit, discharge a judgment obtained against them etc.
Finally, Bankruptcy is not for everyone. We suggest that you speak with an attorney about bankruptcy and debt settlement before making a final decision.

Although unfortunate, there are many situations where a person may wish to evict a family member from their property. It seems that a very common misconception exists. It seems that most people think that if the family member is over the age of 21, they can be evicted by simple summary proceedings. This is not the case at all. These special cases fall under what is known in New York as the Familial Exceptions to Evictions by Summary Proceedings. These exceptions apply to designated types of relationships which have developed over time through case law. If the type of relative that you are attempting to evict falls within these exceptions, the eviction process changes entirely. It is important to be aware of these exceptions before an action is commenced to avoid unnecessary delays and costs. As always, the best way to avoid these pitfalls is to consult with an attorney before proceeding. Please feel free to call (516) 858-2620 to speak with a Landlord Tenant Attorney.
