Attorney McCartney's book PLAIN TALK ABOUT BANKRUPTCY  may be accessed from this page.  This popular client aid addresses frequently asked questions with frank honest answers, and is designed to enhance  our clients' understanding of the intricacies of federal bankruptcy.  Earlier versions were printed in paperback form, and were included in our credit counseling worksheet packages. The fourth addition is available only on this web site.

THE TEXT IN THE PLAIN TALK SECTION HAS NOW BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON THE BANKRUPTCY ABUSE PREVENTION AND CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF 2005.  IT MAY, HOWEVER,  STILL CONTAIN LAW INAPPLICABLE TO FILINGS MADE AFTER OCTOBER 17TH, 2005.  BAPCPA OF 2005, IS GENERALLY NOT APPLICABLE TO CASES FILED BEFORE OCTOBER 17TH, 2005.

To facilitate downloading times, the text is stored by introduction, chapters (whose numbers parallel the operative chapter number), and a glossary of terms.
