With the enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, both clients and attorneys are under a heightened duty to perform an adequate inquiry into the client financial status. All individuals are required to participate in debt counseling and a financial management class. The costs of these services vary.

Additionally, our fee will depend on whether you are eligible for relief under Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11. Please feel free to call our office at 865-246-1050 to schedule a free consultation.
