As you have probably heard, our representatives on Capitol Hill recently came together and passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. There are some interesting repercussions directly related to bankruptcy law that we want our readers and clients to be aware of.
Many people would find it nearly impossible to carry on regular daily activities without a car. They rely on their vehicles to get to work, do the grocery shopping, go to doctor appointments, take the kids to school or daycare, and generally attend to necessities. And some large cities like Birmingham have relatively limited public transit systems. Some neighborhoods are better covered than others, and many public transit lines don’t run at night. In some areas, there is little or no public transportation available.
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds and (hopefully) winds down, Bond & Botes will be keeping abreast of all developments to keep our clients in the know. Hopefully, this blog will act as a helpful resource during this difficult and unprecedented moment.

There comes a point in your mandatory two-week quarantine from covid-19 when you realize that working from home isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. To spare myself the indignity of befriending a volleyball and naming it Wilson, I’ve taken up keeping the Bond & Botes Blog updated with issues related to the COVID–19 pandemic as they relate to our clients, and others facing financial challenges. If you’re a Mississippi client, then you probably already know who I am. If not, let me introduce myself. My name is Nathan Rester and I’m the newest associate at Bond & Botes.
These are stressful times. Businesses are shutting down. Paychecks are being reduced or stopped all together. The stock market is erratic. Families and individuals are being faced with challenges never imagined. It seems that we can no longer depend upon so many things we took for granted just a short time ago. With all that is going on, we want you to know that the attorneys and staff at the Bond & Botes Law Offices are engaged and prepared to help you with whatever the future may bring.
Bond & Botes and our team of lawyers have helped people across Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee take care of their financial concerns for over 30 years. Over recent days, as federal and local governments began responding to the recent coronavirus outbreak, we knew right away that there would be tough financial times ahead for people across the nation. Some are already facing unexpected layoffs, and others are trying to figure out how they will manage childcare if their current care closes down in response to the virus.
