With over a decade of experience, we specialize in achieving results for people and businesses.  Whether you need a fresh start in bankruptcy or need to protect your rights in civil or commercial litigation, our firm can help you. 

    Contrary to what some people may believe, filing for bankruptcy protection is still available even after the 2005 amendments!   In fact, as our nation goes through difficult financial times, more and more people need to be aware that our laws can offer them well-deserved protection.  

    In today's economic climate, many of us need an opportunity to start anew financially.  Studies show that the most common reasons for filing for bankruptcy are:

• loss of employment, followed by being unable to find work that pays as well
• medical expenses that aren’t reimbursed by insurance or government programs
• divorce or legal separation, and 
• failures of small businesses.

    Many of us have simply fallen prey to the tactics used by the credit card industry to entice consumers to use credit cards while they enrich themselves on high interest rates and hidden fees.  To watch a video that explains the tactics employed by the credit card industry and how they really work, click on this link:  http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/credit/view/.

    Of course, none of these factors or events would necessarily require bankruptcy if the people who experience them had adequate savings to weather the storm. But, for a number of reasons, most of us lack such savings. In fact, many of us are up to our eyeballs in debt, making ends meet from paycheck to paycheck. And when a recession hits, or jobs leave the country and the pink slips start flowing, many otherwise stalwart citizens find themselves turning to bankruptcy for relief.

    You should not feel guilty about filing bankruptcy.  If any of the aforementioned circumstances, among others, have made it difficult for you to stay on top of your obligations, it is better for you to seek relief from the bankruptcy system and then return to a productive life rather than remain swamped in unbearable debt.  Come talk to us about your financial issues; we can help!

    Our consistent track record of uncompromising ethics instills confidence and trust. We use cutting edge technologies that allow us to respond quickly, and give you the most relevant information and perspectives.
