Specialties

Our sole focus is debt and the problems that debt causes. Call us for help with Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, Debt Negotiation and Settlement, Tax Problems, Debt Collection Abuse and Harassment

Our clients may owe more money than they will ever be able to pay back. They may face foreclosures, garnishments, IRS or state tax levies, or be abused by unscrupulous debt collectors. But they all have one thing in common: the incredible stress that too much debt can cause. Whether you have personal, business, or tax debt, we can help!



We file chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcies, negotiate debts, handle tax issues, stop foreclosures, and file lawsuits against banks and debt collectors who have acted illegally, or crossed the line regarding collection procedures, and harass or threaten.

Over the years we have helped hundreds of individuals recover from the stress of too much debt, and get a fresh start. When people take positive action they feel better. If you want to restart your life, call us today to schedule a consultation.

History

Established in 2004.

We opened this practice so that we could help individuals understand the issues they face, and the options that they have. Bankruptcy, tax, and foreclosure-​related issues are complex areas of the law and are difficult even for other attorneys if they are inexperienced in these matters.

We are happy to tell our clients when we believe they can handle a particular issue on their own, with tips on what to do and what not to do. But we will also tell them when self-​representation is not advisable.

We have grown from a one attorney practice to three attorneys and five support staff. We started with bankruptcy and added other debt related specialties as our clients needed them. But our focus has never wavered from solving the various problems that debt causes. It is a very unhappy state of affairs to owe money you can’t pay back, have the IRS breathing down your back, face the loss of your home, or be harassed by debt collectors. We solve these problems fro our clients every day.
