Bankruptcy does not have to be something to feel embarrassed about.

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.

"At the end of every seven years every creditor shall make a release and not exact a debt from his neighbor; it is called the Lord's release."
Deuteronomy, 15:1-2

Getting the Solutions You Need for a Fresh Start

You do not need to be reminded about the problems that debt can cause in your life. Anyone who has dealt with debt can attest to the stress and concern that it can cause. Attorneys Greg Lathram or Marcus Herbert will assess your situation and provide solutions that fit your needs. We work with Chapters, 7, 11, 12 and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Creditors do not care if there is food on your table or a roof over your head. They want their money and they often charge outrageous interest rates and late fees to help line their pockets. 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 foreclosure.
