Our First Meeting
At our first meeting, we try to obtain a general idea of our client's situation. Our experienced attorneys examine your assets, debts, income and goals. In addition to discussing your situation, our attorney explains the bankruptcy process and dispels any bankruptcy myths so that you clearly understand your legal situation.
If you are in the midst of a foreclosure, we discuss the goals you have for your house. If you are trying to save your home, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is likely a more appropriate resolution for you.
