Answered on Sep 2, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
Ask his criminal defense attorney about this after the attorney has learned all the facts and circumstances. Basically, there is not enough information here, and all we know is what you wrote. That is not enough, there are many more things that must be known to make a guess at what the prosecutor could go after.

1 Answer | Asked in Bankruptcy for New York on Aug 29, 2015
Answered on Aug 30, 2015
Robert Gambrell's answer
You can file a motion to convert to a chapter 7. Whether your court requires that notice be provides to creditors or if the order converting the case without notice to creditors can be entered will depend upon the practice in your court.
