Press Release Summary = Hispanics feel more comfortable dealing with a hispanic lawyer when revealing their debt problems. Complicated laws and difficult decisions effect Hispanics\' choice for guidance through the legal process.
Press Release Body = For Immediate Release 12/22/05
For Hispanic speaking individuals in the United States, debt problems occur just like they occur to non-Hispanic speaking persons. The decision to seek legal help and to whom they approach to assist them does differ. Hispanics feel more comfortable dealing with someone who speaks their native language.
The bankruptcy laws in the United States are complex. More complex than ever due to the sweeping reform that began primarily on 10/17/05. To follow the precise direction of those laws can prove very laborious. Those seeking debt relief who are Hispanic, find that a counselor who speaks their language can better serve their needs. Israel Vasquez, Jr., of David M. Siegel & Associates, spends a great deal of time explaining to Hispanic clients what they need to prepare for their successful bankruptcy. He states that, \"Hispanic speaking clients often don\'t understand the process.\" \"Others want the work to be done completely for them.\" In either case, it takes sometimes twice as long to prepare those who speak Spanish as opposed to those who speak English.
Further, bankruptcy trustees expect no less of Hispanic filers than that of any other. The documents must be fully completed with supporting documentation if requested. Additionally, the debtor must be able to answer the pointed and directed questions of a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy trustee. Although a translator is permitted, they are not provided for by the court.
In a recent analysis, an overwhelming majority of Hispanic clients questioned at the law offices of David M. Siegel & Associates (www.bankruptcylawyerschicago.com) stated that they appreciated having persons in the office that they could communicate with in Spanish. \"There is a sense of understanding when questions can be answered in Spanish\" states Israel Vasquez, Jr. He enjoys the conversations he engages in and most importantly, he take pride in making the callers feel comfortable.
