Step 1
Gather Your Documents
First, every debtor must provide documents and exhibits to the Bankruptcy Court. Trustees look for hidden assets, income, & transfers in these documents. Download our consumer or small business checklist.
Step 2
Filing Bankruptcy Online
Second, Call Toni or myself at 502-625-0905. We will set up your online intake. You can bring in your PDF documents on a thumb drive, upload them or we can scan them in and get the bankruptcy process started.
Step 3
Credit Counseling
Third, take a required counseling class before filing. I like prebk.com and bkcert.com. Take the debtor education class after filing bankruptcy to get the discharge from creditors and become debt free.
At other law firms, you pay your bankruptcy lawyer, and then you are handed off to a secretary, paralegal, or younger attorney. I personally prepare your consumer bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, or small business bankruptcy case. We usually have two consultations a free consultation for 2 hours and 2-3 hours with you to ensure your petition is perfect. Bankruptcy attorneys should never pass clients off to a paralegal or inexperienced junior lawyer after the law firm collects. But at many firms that is the bankruptcy filing process.
Clients need a client-centered approach from experienced lawyers whose only practice areas are defending foreclosures and Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 cases. Over 99% of our Chapter 7 clients complete their Chapter 7 and obtain financial freedom and discharge. The average law firm will have 30 to 40 percent of their Chapter 13 cases fail and become dismissed.
Many people have to refile their Chapter 13 case, convert to a Chapter 7, or lose property because an attorney did it wrong. They are different tools for different purposes to provide a future with finances free from the debt and stress from a foreclosure or collection lawsuit. Chapter 13 is perfect for saving a home, defending a private student loan lawsuit, and managing tax debts. Chapter 7 is usually best for debtors with little equity in homes and assets and less than average incomes.
When you call our law firm, clients talk to me or my assistant Toni, who will schedule a consultation to design a solution that meets your goals. We spend time with you to ensure you achieve your needs, get a fresh start, and get out of debt. We do less than 20 cases monthly to ensure each client gets the needed attention, debt relief, and a better future.

In 1988, I accepted an Assistant Attorney General position in the State Tax Department. I practice before the United States Bankruptcy Court and the US Tax Court, holding license #51..
Since 1991, I have practiced bankruptcy law and foreclosure defense in Louisville, Ky handling over 7,000 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases and over 1,000 foreclosures. I am an experienced lawyer focusing on bankruptcy relief for foreclosures, small businesses, consumers, and tax debt.
In 2020, I filed the first Chapter 11 Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA) case for a family-run business in Kentucky under the bankruptcy code.
I am committed to bankruptcy law. I share my knowledge by teaching Kentucky attorneys how to defend foreclosures as an instructor for NBI and Lorman.
Three Federal Banking studies prove the rich use the code to increase their wealth.
