Bankruptcy Benefits for Fort Hood Military vs. Civilian Filers

There are several advantages available to members of the military and veterans that are not available to civilians under the Bankruptcy Code.  Certain types of income that active duty soldiers or veterans receive are not counted when considering whether an individual qualifies to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  These means more of these folks, especially veterans and disabled veterans, can qualify for Chapter 7 relief.  

Active Duty Military Members and Contractors have Security Clearance issues that are not concerns to our civilian clients.  Erin is familiar with these Security Clearance issues and has actually helped several of her clients obtain Security Clearances or get their Security Clearances restored.
