Both the United States Constitution and the Bible include the concept of bankruptcy as an action that helps both the debtor and the economy at large.
Anyone who has dealt with debt can attest to the constant stress it causes. Attorneys Greg Lathram and Marcus Herbert will carefully assess your situation and provide solutions that fit your unique needs. We have a strong background in Chapters 7, 11, 12 and 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Creditors simply do not care if you have food on your table or a roof over your head. They want their money and often charge outrageous interest rates and late fees. Some creditors take their pursuit a step further by harassing those who owe them money over the phone and by mail. We can work with creditors and help you avoid many of the problems associated with bankruptcy, including home foreclosure.
Bankruptcy does not have to be a negative experience. Meet with one of our experienced bankruptcy attorneys to discover how we can help you.
