Why Choose Us?

We only do bankruptcyWe only do bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is a complex and rapidly changing field. While bankruptcy law is based on a federal statute, it is applied differently from state to state. Furthermore, there are important differences in how individual judges and trustees apply the law. That is why you want a lawyer who knows the “ins” and “outs” of bankruptcy. You will work with an attorney who only handles bankruptcy cases. You can feel confident that your attorney is focused exclusively on the issues of bankruptcy.

Many other lawyers try to juggle different areas of law and they do bankruptcy law on the side. Our lawyers focus exclusively on bankruptcy and debt resolution. The bankruptcy process can be very confusing to the inexperienced. A single decision from the courts can change the bankruptcy laws dramatically.

For example, the Supreme Court of the United States recently entered a decision in a case (Ransom v. FIA Card Services) which changed the way cars and other vehicles are considered in bankruptcy. In one day, some people who had qualified for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy no longer qualified. We were able to respond quickly and advise our clients appropriately. This type of change happens regularly. It requires the attention of lawyers who are focused on the field of bankruptcy law. A mistake in filing can have serious consequences, not only financially, but also for your ability to file your case successfully. Our exclusive attention to the field of bankruptcy allows us to help our clients get the relief for which they qualify, without wasting time and money. Contact us now to find out how we can help you get a fresh start.
