FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer a free consultation so you can discuss your financial situation and legal options with an experienced bankruptcy attorney before paying anything. The only required upfront cost initially is to cover the court filing fee for your bankruptcy petition, which keeps the start of the process accessible even if you have limited funds. For attorney fees, we offer flexible payment plans tailored to your budget and are happy to go over payment options over the phone during your consultation.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our process begins with a free one‑on‑one consultation to review your specific financial circumstances and determine whether Chapter 7 (or another option) is right for you. From there, we help you gather all required documents, explain the timeline and legal steps, and prepare your filings for the court. Once your case is filed, we guide you through the rest of the process, handling creditor communications, attending required hearings, and keeping you informed every step of the way. We focus on personalized legal support and answering questions as they come up so you’re never left wondering what happens next.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
