- Troubled Arizona Economy Leading to Fewer Marriages, Pregnancies | Legal News | News Ticker
The economy in Arizona is in its worst state in decades, and nearly everyone who lives here is feeling the effects of the lack of jobs and the continuing down spiral of the real estate market in some way, shape or form. Financial troubles can invade every aspect of anyone’s life, and now come the findings of the United States Census Bureau that hammers this point home – the number of marriages and pregnancies in the state is nearing an all-time low, and many experts are blaming the troubled economy as a reason for this decline.
Arizona Bankruptcies Rise, Marriages and Pregnancies Fall
It’s well known at this point that Arizona is about to set yet another record for the number of bankruptcy filings in the state for the year 2010. This comes on the heels of the previous record, which was set only last year. When people find themselves in financial trouble, their instinct is to pull back on life’s plans in hopes that their financial difficulties will fade and that they will be able to get back into living the life that they want. According to the statistics provided by the US Census Bureau, 32 percent, or nearly one-third, of Arizona residents have never been married. This constitutes a large statistical jump from 2005, when the economy was booming. During that year, that number stood at just over 27 percent. In addition, the number of women giving birth in the last year fell from 64 per 1,000 in 2007 to 59 last year.
Regain Your Financial Freedom and Your Future Plans
Many have spoken and written about the effects that financial troubles in a bad economy can have on certain aspects of life, but these statistics show completely how pervasive these problems can get. Hesitating in regards to getting married and having children is about as basic as life’s desires can get. While it’s certainly not irresponsible to hold off on taking these steps when money seems short, there are options available to those who have these desires and who want to move forward in life.
Regaining your financial freedom begins with taking a look at your financial picture and planning a way out from under your stress. If you would like to learn more about how this can be done, the Phillips Law Group recommends the experienced bankruptcy attorneys atMontano Arentz & Associates, PLLC for all of your bankruptcy needs.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

Kathy Hudson and Donato Giovanatto. Continues to go above and beyond the call of duty. Reaching out to the insurance company about the damage to the vehicle. Forcing them to take responsibility.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
