Mankato Bankruptcy Support

September 25th, 2014 · No Comments

Behm Law Group provides more than just legal bankruptcy support for Mankato residents.

“How are you?” is a pretty common question. Akin to “Hello!” this question usually presumes a positive response. If negative, we tend to assess how negative and how much of our time will be required in listening to another’s problems. We have difficulties of our own. The mere mention of another’s problems may cause us to reflect on our own. If your friend fell on hard times and had to declare bankruptcy, nothing else is on this person’s mind. It can be overwhelming, especially if it was unexpected.

The best thing you can do is to be a friend and to listen. If that particular time doesn’t work well for you, suggest an alternate meeting. Let your friend vent for a while, but not too long. Gently steer the conversation toward active steps that could help your friend succeed. Be patient. Reassure your friend that you still value him or her as a human being. If he or she hasn’t already contacted a bankruptcy attorney, suggest Behm Law Group, Ltd. We’ll take care of your friend as though he or she were our friend, too.

Support doesn’t stop there, however. Your Mankato friend may experience depression or confusion thinking he or she is all alone. The best thing you can do is to continue to be a friend. Constantly reassure your friend that all will work out well eventually. Ask questions about how his or her journey is going and on what steps he or she is taking. Be the friendly guide that someone needs. The bankruptcy attorneys at Behm Law Group, Ltd. demonstrate compassion and patience as well.

Show your friend that he or she can rely on you to be there when he or she needs you the most. Too many people make a quick getaway when they receive a negative response to “How are you?” A true friend wouldn’t do that.

A true friend in Mankato responds rather than reacts to another’s admission of bankruptcy. If your friend gets stuck in a continual negative loop, help him or her climb out by providing positive steps he or she can take.

When Behm Law Group, Ltd. and you both work to be that positive influence a bankrupt person needs, eventually future conversations will take a turn for the better. The next time you ask one of your friends “How are you?” he or she will likely respond, “Fine, thanks.” Maybe you’ll even get a “great” or an “awesome.”

Your friend will feel better. You’ll feel better. Behm Law Group, Ltd. will feel better. Call us to start that positive journey.
