Florida Bankruptcy Filings Rank In The Top 5 States For Number Of Cases
Florida bankruptcy courts heard 73,622 cases from July 1, 2005 to June 2006. Only four other states had more bankruptcy cases than Florida. In the Middle District alone, attorneys filed more than 43,000 Florida bankruptcy cases.
The Southern District processed over 25,000 bankruptcy cases in the same period. The courts still have their hands full while consumers continue to see filing a Florida bankruptcy as a reasonable solution to their financial situation.
