When bills pile up and collection calls won’t stop, it can feel like there’s no way out. Bankruptcy may offer a legal path to debt relief. At Debt Doctors of Missouri, we help individuals and small business owners in Springfield and across Missouri understand their options and decide what to do next.
We believe help with debt should be close to home. From our Springfield office, we provide personal guidance to people in our community, with the opportunity to discuss their concerns directly with an attorney. You deserve personal attention and clear answers from an attorney who takes the time to understand your situation.
When you meet with us, you'll talk with an attorney who has handled thousands of bankruptcy cases and who will explain whether bankruptcy makes sense for you and what your alternatives are. We'll look at what you owe, what you own, and what you're trying to protect, whether that's your home, your car, or your paycheck. If bankruptcy isn't the right answer, we'll tell you.
Many people wait too long to call because they're embarrassed or afraid of what bankruptcy means. Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help eligible individuals address overwhelming debt and work toward a fresh start.
If you’re facing wage garnishment, foreclosure, or repossession, timing can matter. Filing for bankruptcy generally stops most collection activity, although exceptions apply. Our free initial consultation gives you a place to ask questions without pressure. Schedule your consultation with Debt Doctors of Missouri by calling (417) 466-3328 today.

Our founding attorney, Ted L. Tinsman, has practiced bankruptcy law for more than 25 years, primarily representing consumer debtors in over 3,000 cases. He opened Debt Doctors of Missouri in 2022 at our current Springfield location. Our practice is focused on consumer and small business bankruptcy under Chapters 7 and 13. That experience helps us understand the challenges our clients face and explain their bankruptcy options in practical terms.
Mr. Tinsman calls his work a “Jubilee Practice,” drawing inspiration from the Old Testament tradition of Jubilee in Leviticus Chapter 25 and its emphasis on restoration and a fresh start. At Debt Doctors of Missouri we treat our clients with respect, compassion, and without judgment.
We help individuals and small business owners understand whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy may fit their circumstances.
We’ll explain how each chapter works, whether you qualify, and how it may affect your debts and property. Contact Debt Doctors of Missouri at (417) 466-3328 to schedule your free initial consultation.
