The ROAD out of DEBT

"Debt is daunting. Debt takes more than an economic toll; the emotional toll as one struggles with mounting debt is devastating. As stress mounts, people begin to get desperate. And desperate people do dumb things. The Road Out of Debt will serve as your guide through the maze of mounting debt. In a legal, methodical, and jargon-free voice, the authors—one a well-respected bankruptcy judge, the other a distinguished bankruptcy lawyer—carefully present a coherent and user-friendly series of strategies designed to empower the reader to address problems associated with too much debt."—JACK F. WILLIAMS, Professor, Georgia State University College of Law

"In The Road Out of Debt, the authors offer their readers dignity through choice and take a no-nonsense approach in helping people get out from underneath the burden of debt. It is a must-read for anyone who is struggling in today's turbulent economic times and is looking for the best strategy to navigate themselves back onto secure financial ground."—JOHN HOPE BRYANT, founder, Chairman and CEO of America's first nonprofit social investing banking network, Operation HOPE and bestselling author of Love Leadership: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World

"Don't try to navigate your way out of credit card, medical, student loan, or mortgage debt without this book. It will explain your options; reveal hidden traps and pitfalls; and put you back in control of your finances."—CAROL J. KENNER, retired United States bankruptcy judge

"A marriage of law and finance that has produced a miracle of uncommonly useful advice for consumers that is clear, candid, and hopeful."—STEVE NICKLES, C.C. Hope Chair in Law and Management, School of Law and Schools of Business, Wake Forest University

As more and more people find themselves facing financial difficulties—as a result of everything from the recent credit crisis to the bursting of the housing bubble—an increasing number of people are looking for reliable information to help them get back on the right track.

That's why authors Joan N. Feeney, a preeminent Massachusetts bankruptcy judge, and Theodore W. Connolly, a highly respected finance and bankruptcy attorney, have created The Road Out of Debt. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, this timely guide will put you in a better position to face your personal financial problems and deal with them accordingly.
