At Hurtt & Johnson, we offer a free and confidential initial consultation to review your legal rights. We have bankruptcy attorney offices in Dalton and Calhoun, Georgia. Often, clients are in need of a bankruptcy due to events entirely out of their control, such as loss of a job, loss of income, divorce, and unexpected medical debt. Standard Bankruptcy Options include filing a Chapter 7 “fresh start” bankruptcy or Chapter 13 repayment plan bankruptcy. Additionally, Chapter 12 is available for farmers and Chapter 11 is available for businesses and complex cases. If your primary concern is a lawsuit, it is possible that we could defend the lawsuit on its own merits or pursue other non-bankruptcy alternatives.
Filing bankruptcy is a serious financial decision and you should seek the advice of bankruptcy professionals about the benefits and consequences of bankruptcy. Every case is unique and different types of bankruptcy options can result in very different outcomes. It is critical to have a thorough attorney review of your case and not a quick look from a paralegal which is unfortunately common with “assembly line” consumer bankruptcy firms. We regularly have clients comment about how different the experience was meeting with our firm compared to others.
How are we different from other bankruptcy firms?
Assembly Line Bankruptcy Firm Experience
- Initial consultation is a 30 minute meeting with a secretary and only 5 minutes with a lawyer, or the secretary may even speak with the lawyer separately
- Bankruptcy petition and schedules are often incomplete and need amendments
- The trustee meeting is not attended by a lawyer from the firm, but rather a contract attorney who is not familiar with the case
Hurtt & Johnson Client Experience
- Initial consultation is typically a full hour with one of our experienced bankruptcy attorneys
- We do a thorough review of all the paperwork with our clients before they sign the forms and we submit them to the bankruptcy court
- Our attorneys attend the trustee meetings with our clients, which is what any client should expect
