''While many lawyers will offer you free consultation, no lawyer will give you their cell phone number and tell you to call anytime. I take a limited number of cases each month and work every case myself. I am available to you anytime during the day, evenings and weekends."
We are not a 'bankruptcy mill', a large firm where you have to discuss your case with a new attorney/paralegal each time. I will be with each client every step of the way until they are discharged and can begin to live normally once again.
Filing for bankruptcy is not an easy decision, and not everyone who is in debt should file, but many people have such overwhelming debt that filing is the only answer. If you have overwhelming debt, let me help. You may be able to eliminate almost all of your debt while keeping you assets. No more harassing phone calls, no more collection letters; lawsuits will be dismissed and garnishments are stopped.

Chapter 7 - Getting A Fresh Start
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also called liquidation, is the most common type of bankruptcy and completely eliminates your dischargeable debt forever. Individuals who are granted Chapter 7 bankruptcy have proven to the court that they have no realistic way to repay their debt over the course of the next three to five years. When Chapter 7 is awarded, the debtor is legally excused from having to repay any unsecured debts, and most debtors are able to keep all properties. Typically it takes a total of three to four months for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case to be filed and discharged.
Certain types of debts cannot be cleared through Chapter 7 bankruptcy including school loans, child support, alimony, taxes, and personal injury damages.
