Just as no two people are alike, individual bankruptcy cases are not homogenous.
This course will discuss how to approach individual bankruptcy cases while anticipating those differences. Not all individual cases are consumer cases, nor are all consumer cases truly consumer debts. Individuals with mortgage issues may fare better in chapter 11 than 13. Delaying a filing may yield more benefits than an emergency filing. Understanding these differences is key to serving each client effectively, from intake through litigation. This course will also address protecting practitioners in an area where Congress treats lawyers as the clients' enemy. This is not just an introduction to bankruptcy law - the goal is equipping you to meet clients and their needs.

Great introduction to bankruptcy. Very informative
Another useful course for my practicing bankruptcy.
A bit more depth in written material would have been nice.

This has to be 4 stars. While basic, the course is packed with substance. This is a great course, even for one in a business practice but not concentrating in bankruptcy .
Faculty was very animated and kept my attention.
Very good connection of statutory definitions and processes to real life operations.

This is a fantastic resource for lawyers beginning to practice bankruptcy.
Very knowledgeable presenter.
It was a good, well structured course - a bit quick but there's more than can be covered in an hour - I guess I can go back over the written materials and pick up on the threads that were rushed or that I didn't quite get - I do appreciate being given a comprehensive discussion of personal bankruptcy, and I prefer to have some sections being a little rushed instead of having them being left out entirely.
Excellent!

This was one of the best and most informative courses that I have taken since the advent of the CLE requirements. I hope that M. Greenwald makes some more courses available at a more advanced level. He is a very skilled and effective teacher.

An ardent foundational lecture anchored by a speaker who is like sunshine with a big energy field around him. A solid, thorough, practical conversation fortifies a good nuts and bolts review to approaching individual bankruptcies. The material is explained in an easy and comprehensible manner. There is a vast difference between acquiring information and understanding it. And there’s an even wider gap between understanding it and implementing it, or doing it. Success hails from one dedicated and focused step at a time. Successful bankruptcy attorneys will take this material and use it every day. Follow Greenwald’s template to speed up the process of getting from information acquisition to skill implementation.
Thank you!
Nice job
excellent presenter! excellent material!
Needed more time!! Very interesting - good overview!!
