    The Workout Group of America
    The Workout Group of America is an organization dedicated to helping and servicing lawyers and law firms. Although one of our founders is a lawyer, we are not a law firm and do not provide legal services. Our mission is to offer lawyers and law firms a way to generate additional income, offer products and services in a convenient place, reduce overhead by creating outsourcing alternatives to handling certain work not requiring a lawyer, and more importantly, helping lawyers to better serve their clients. The "Workout" is designed to help consumers with problematic amounts of unsecured debt through negotiations with consumer creditors with the expectation of settling accounts at less than full balance. Under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, before filing for Bankruptcy, a consumer is required to explore alternatives to filing for Bankruptcy. The Workout is one such alternative. For a complete description of how the Workout Group of America program can benefit your law firm call (866) 256-0160 or email: info@wgamerica.com www.WGAmerica.com www.wgamerica.com/
