Leverage Agile —

When Congress revised the Bankruptcy Law in 2005, it characterized law firms who offer bankruptcy assistance as an option to financially troubled consumers as “debt relief agencies”. Although this is not a characterization we would have chosen, we are required to advise the general public that we are a debt relief agency who assists consumers in filing for bankruptcy

In addition to these specific areas of law, we also offer services in many others.

Ms. Fugate and Gayle Sollebberger made a very difficult and stressing time so much easier to get through. They were both always ready to answer questions and sooth my fears. I can't say enough to really do them justice.
