Nearly 1.5 million individuals and businesses file for bankruptcy every year. The loss of a job, an unexpected medical expense, and expenditures that necessitated taking on business or credit card debt are some of the circumstances that compel individuals and businesses to seek debt relief and protection from their creditors.

All too often overwhelmed debtors simply stop paying their bills and answering their phones – but the debt collectors keep calling, wage garnishments still shrink your paycheck, credit card interest keeps piling up, and your credit rating just rolls downhill.

A contingent fee arrangement makes it possible for a small or medium-size business to pursue claims for which they might not have the resources. Our team will work with you to tailor a contingent fee arrangement that is right for your business.

Federal law offers debt relief to individuals and businesses through Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Starting and successfully completing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding stops the debt collectors’ calls, stops the wage garnishments, and stops the interest charges from accruing. And, most importantly, a successful Chapter 7 bankruptcy process enables you to cancel many of your debts while also allowing you to keep certain property.

Undertaking a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding is best done with the guidance of experienced bankruptcy attorneys. The process requires a deep understanding of the statute, of the case law, and of the administrative rules that, if not undertaken properly, could jeopardize your case and your financial future.
