Your Experienced Bankruptcy Attorney in Newnan

I have been practicing as a Bankruptcy Attorney in Newnan since 2003. I am not a “mill” firm but rather provide a personal and professional representation in Chapter 7 cases in Newnan to obtain the debt relief you deserve. When seeking a bankruptcy lawyer in Newnan, Georgia it is important that you have an attorney who will get all the required information for your bankruptcy and has the knowledge to make sure that you will get a discharge of your debts. I do not take only “easy” cases but also cases that are more complex.

How Our Newnan Bankruptcy Lawyers Can Help You

Under bankruptcy law you need to pass what is called the “Means Test”. Basically, the means test is used to determine whether you qualify for a Chapter 7 discharge. If your income is too high (higher than the median income for your area) you need to be able to show that with your expenses you will qualify for a discharge despite your income. The means test (thank you Congress!!) is incredibly complicated and requires a full understanding of allowed expenses which can be used to qualify for a Chapter 7 discharge. As a bankruptcy attorney in Newnan Georgia I have seen people be talked into a Chapter 13 bankruptcy (where you repay all or part of your debt over time) by mill firms because the firm makes more money from a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I do not do Chapter 13 bankruptcies because I do not believe them to be the best solution for most people.

Your Trusted Local Bankruptcy Lawyer in Newnan

As your bankruptcy attorney in Newnan I need the following information from you. Most importantly, your paystubs and tax returns for several years. I also need your credit report and bills for any other debts that are not included in your credit report. With my years of experience as a bankruptcy lawyer in Newnan I then prepare your Petition and Schedules, making sure that they comply with the requirements of the bankruptcy court. I also am experienced in “tough” bankruptcies when the US Trustees’ office has questions about whether a discharge will be allowed.
