No. The Federal Bankruptcy Code states “no private employer may terminate the employment of, or discriminate with respect to employment against, an individual who is or has been a debtor under this title.” We have represented police officers, firefighters, sheriffs, doctors, lawyers, as well as people with high-level security clearance working for the government and not one of them has reported a job loss related to the filing of their case. If you are concerned about whether filing for bankruptcy will affect your job, please make sure we address that during your consultation.
