It’s a legal tool you can use to restore your financial health.

Filing for Bankruptcy in Southwest Missouri

Filing bankruptcy under Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code takes careful preparation and an understanding of legal issues. Misunderstandings of the law or making mistakes in the process can affect your rights, your financial situation, even your life with long-term, unintended consequences. While anyone can file bankruptcy without an attorney — called filing pro se — even the Administrative Office of the United States Court system strongly recommends hiring an attorney.

Our Bankruptcy Practice

Our bankruptcy practice falls into three main areas: Chapter 7Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 filings. Each type of filing is distinct with its own rules, purposes, and procedures. But all bankruptcy chapters have been designed to provide relief for individuals and businesses facing potential insolvency and financial losses. Read more about each of these types of bankruptcy below to gain an introductory understanding.

The Bankruptcy Code is complex and the situation for each individual, couple, or small business is different. You are best served by hiring an attorney with experience, someone who has “seen it all.” Our bankruptcy team has that experience; we have exclusively practiced bankruptcy for 25+ years, filing over 3,500 cases with millions in debt discharged. Furthermore, not all attorneys are equal. Why hire an attorney or a law firm that may only handle bankruptcy cases as a sideline or may only file a few cases each year?

Bankruptcy is ALL WE DO, day in and out, working to get the best possible results for our clients.
