Do successful people file bankruptcy?

Yes! The whole point of bankruptcy is to help people recover from difficulty and find financial success.

Many famous people have suffered economic setbacks and have had to file for bankruptcy protection either personally or for their business. 

The list of such individuals is very long and includes individuals important to the development of the American economy such as: Former Secretary of U.S. Treasury, Henry Ford; Walt Disney; P.T. Barnum; Donald Trump; Larry King; Mark Twain; John Connelly; Jerry Lewis; Mickey Rooney; and Tammy Wynette. These amazing people went on to achieve great things for themselves and for others after recovering from financial difficulty.

When you recover from difficulty and prosper, our community grows stronger. Regardless of your situation, becoming informed of your options is a responsible choice.
