Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hi all: On another note entirely, I have a friend who is having some serious marital and financial difficulties. She lives in the northern suburbs and she is looking for inexpensive legal work on filing for bankruptcy and possibly filing for divorce. She has a daughter in her mid-twenties with cognitive and health challenges, so she is plenty panicked. Any advice or resources would be welcomed.
