How to Prepare For Your 341 Creditor Meeting

This article provides practical advice that can help debtors prepare for a 341 creditor meeting that is part of the bankruptcy process.
Many debtors who are going through the bankruptcy process are intimidated by the idea of attending a 341 creditor meeting, or also called Trustee’s meeting. This isn't surprising because the 341 creditor meeting is a legal proceeding that requires debtors to review their Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions with a court-appointed trustee.
This meeting can feel intimidating because your creditors can ask you certain questions about your debts. However, you can take the stress out of attending this meeting if you plan ahead. In almost all cases no creditor is showing up to ask questions. Normally, it is only the trustee and you. The trustee is not a Judge.
Med Mal Blame Game

So who is to blame? Are plaintiff's lawyers orchestrating these mistakes as part of a broad conspiracy to drum up business? Of course not. Yet PI attorneys are villified when all they do is create a "check" on the medical system. It is wrong that a client should walk in for routine surgery and walk out more debilitated than when they entered the hospital. By the way, we do not advocate suing doctors or hospitals for bad results. There is always a risk of problems during treatment. But administering the wrong medication or performing surgery on the wrong part of the body is inexcusable. Personal injury attorneys keep the medical community honest - or at the very least bring these kinds of problems (that otherwise might get swept under the rug) the attention they deserve.
Do not delay hiring an attorney after being injured.
