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.
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.
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.
You pay your bankruptcy attorney to prepare your petition and be in court with you. At other firms you are often handed off to a secretary, paralegal, or younger attorney so they can process 100 cases a month. I am the founding partner. I always personally prepare your business bankruptcy, foreclosure defense or consumer bankruptcy. The filing process should never pass off a client to a paralegal or inexperienced junior lawyer after the law firm collects.
Clients need a client-centered approach from experienced lawyers whose only practice areas are defending foreclosures, debt collection lawsuits and filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 cases. Over 99% of our Chapter 7 clients complete their Chapter 7 and obtain the discharge. The average law firm will have 30 to 40 percent of their Chapter 13 cases fail and become dismissed.
A large percentage of people have to refile their Chapter 13 case, convert it to a Chapter 7 or lose property by doing it wrong. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 are tools to provide a future with finances free from the debt and stress that often end up causing a job loss or divorce.
When you call our law firm, clients talk to me or my assistant Toni, who will schedule a free consultation to design a solution that meets your goals. We spend time with you to ensure you achieve your goals, get a fresh start, and get out of debt. We do less than 20 cases per month to ensure each client gets the needed attention, relief and a better future.
In 1988, I accepted a position as an Assistant Attorney General 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 5,000 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases and over 1,000 foreclosures. I am an experienced bankruptcy lawyer who concentrates on foreclosures, small businesses, and tax problems..
In 2020, my office made history by filing the first Chapter 11 Small Business Reorganization Act (SBRA) case for a family-run business in Kentucky under the bankruptcy code.
This pioneering work is a testament to my commitment to innovation to the bankruptcy law. I share my knowledge by teaching classes to Kentucky bankruptcy attorneys on how to defend foreclosures and file for bankruptcy relief as an instructor for NBI and Lorman.
