Charlie Batch Bankruptcy: Exposing the too frequent plight of professional athletes.

Charlie Batch, the journeyman backup Quarterback of the Lion and Steelers recently filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.  He made over $20 million over his playing days but claims that bad investments have dissipated all of that income.  While it is probably true that he did invest in well-intentioned business ventures, I would suppose that many other "poor investments" like expensive cars, jewelry, trips to Atlantis, etc. were involved in the dooming of Mr. Batch's economic status.  It is sad to see but the majority of professional athletes are broke within 3 years of ending their careers.  Their plight illustrates what dooms most of us in our own small way.  Borrowing against our future for the toys and trips we want today.  If this has or is happening to your family I encourage you to visit my website www.attorneyok.com and research how bankruptcy can afford you a fresh start.  Remember, true ignorance is only failing to learn from our mistakes.  You likely have paid expensive tuition on those lessons so make the most of it.  We help Oklahoma file Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy and let them get on with a more enjoyable and stress-free, debt-free life.
