So what are the steps, and what does every debtor need to know? Join the Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts and the Cultural Development Corporation for a workshop featuring a panel of practitioners and experts in the areas of bankruptcy law, foreclosures and housing counseling, and financial management, who will provide practical advice for bankruptcy filers. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn about the nuances of filing bankruptcy as an artist.
