We encounter clients that experience a variety of difficulties beyond their control, including job loss, underemployment, divorce, medical expenses, a business that is failing due to the economy and a many other financial difficulties. Debt settlement or bankruptcy can offer solutions to creditor harassment and overwhelming debt caused by these circumstances.
Many clients express a concern about the stigma of bankruptcy. Our clients are parents, business owners and active members of their communities from all walks of life; they are hardworking, honest and simply have reached a breaking point with their debt. Whether you are an individual, family or business owner, our attorneys can discuss all debt settlement and bankruptcy options available to you so that you can get a fresh start.
What to expect during your meeting
Prior to your consultation, we will ask you to fill out a short questionnaire and disclosure that will help us focus on the issues relevant to your circumstances.

- Any alternatives to bankruptcy
- Exemption issues (what you can keep through bankruptcy)
