Our goal is to help you achieve financial relief with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
We work with clients across Summit, Portage, Medina, Stark, and surrounding counties. From your first consultation through discharge, our attorneys offer comprehensive support in Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and debt resolution matters. When creditors are calling, wages are being garnished, or foreclosure threatens your home, we are here to protect your rights and lead you through the process.
Evaluating Your Options
Every bankruptcy case begins with a conversation. We take time to review your income, debts, property, and long-term goals before recommending a path forward. Some clients qualify for Chapter 7, which eliminates unsecured debts through liquidation. Others find Chapter 13 more effective because it allows them to repay certain obligations while keeping important assets like homes and cars.
Our attorneys explain the consequences of each choice so you understand how bankruptcy may affect your property, credit, and future financial stability. This early guidance is key to building a plan that works for your life.
Preparing and
Filing Your Case
Bankruptcy requires accuracy and strict compliance with federal and Ohio rules. Even a simple error can cause delays or dismissal. We prepare all required petitions and schedules, ensure your supporting documents are complete, and file your case with the court in a timely manner.
By handling these details, we reduce stress and keep your case on track. Our attorneys also guide you through required steps such as credit counseling and debtor education so you remain compliant throughout the process.
Representation
in Court
Filing is only the beginning. Every bankruptcy case includes a 341 Meeting of Creditors, where a trustee and creditors may ask questions about your finances. Additional hearings may follow, especially if creditors challenge your filings or repayment plan.
We represent you at each appearance, answer questions on your behalf, and respond to disputes. Our presence ensures that your rights are protected and that the case remains focused on achieving relief.
Supporting
Individuals and Families
Bankruptcy often follows events outside of your control illness, job loss, divorce, or unexpected bills. We understand how difficult these circumstances can be. Our attorneys help stop collection harassment, prevent repossession, and use Ohio exemptions to protect property whenever possible.
For families, the process is about more than numbers. It is about creating space to rebuild, regain stability, and move forward with dignity. We provide compassionate representation that keeps your family’s future at the center of the process.
Supporting
Small Businesses
Debt challenges for business owners can be especially complex. We represent sole proprietors and small business owners who need to restructure, repay, or in some cases close their operations. Whether through Chapter 7 liquidation or Chapter 13 repayment, we help business owners make informed choices that protect both their livelihood and their personal stability.
Handling
Contested or Complex Matters
Some bankruptcies are straightforward; others are not. When creditors object to exemptions, challenge filings, or raise questions about property, the process can become contested. We step in quickly to address motions, negotiate disputes, and represent you in hearings. By offering complete representation, we remain at your side no matter how complicated the case becomes.
Life After
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is not the end of your financial life, it is a chance to begin again. After discharge, we continue to advise clients on rebuilding credit, managing finances, and avoiding pitfalls that could lead back to debt. We want you to leave the process not only debt-free but also prepared to move forward with long-term stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “complete representation” mean in bankruptcy?
It means we guide you through every stage of the case from evaluation and filing to discharge and post-bankruptcy advice.
Do I need an attorney to file bankruptcy?
While self-filing is possible, bankruptcy law is complex, and mistakes can result in dismissal or loss of property. An attorney ensures compliance and protection.
Will bankruptcy stop creditor harassment?
Yes. Filing immediately triggers the automatic stay, which halts most collection activity, including phone calls, garnishments, and lawsuits.
Can I keep my home or car if I file?
Often yes. With exemptions or repayment plans, many clients keep essential property while still resolving their debts.
How long does bankruptcy take?
Chapter 7 cases generally take a few months, while Chapter 13 repayment plans last three to five years.
