January Bankruptcy Filings Fall Over 20%

January 2011 Bankruptcy Filings were down slightly across the United States when compared to the number of filings in December 2010. In January 2011 approximately 92,500 personal bankruptcies were filed. In December 2010, approximately 118,000 personal bankruptcies were filed. Is this a sign of an economic recovery? No, I don't think so. I honestly do not know why filings were down. In our office we saw a bit of a slow down in December 2010 and January 2011; however, February has started like an ordinary crazy month.

We will keep you up to date on all the latest bankruptcy information.
