We Offer a Low Flat Fee

We have helped many individuals and families in Seattle, Shoreline, King and Snohomish County obtain the bankruptcy relief to which they are entitled.

Bankruptcy May be Your Best Solution

Whether due to job loss, illness, divorce, or wages that are not keeping up with the cost of living, filing for protection under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy laws can relieve you of unhealthy stress. Filing for bankruptcy relief can wipe-out all of your debts and give you a fresh financial start.

Filing Bankruptcy Stops Virtually All Collection Activity

With very few exceptions, filing either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops creditors, collection companies (even the IRS) and lawsuits IMMEDIATELY!

Also, in most cases, bankruptcy filers keep all of their property, including their house, retirement accounts, cars, furniture, tools, entertainment devices, and other household items.

Bankruptcy Often Improves Your Credit Score

With careful planning after a bankruptcy case is completed, most of our clients' credit scores actually improve after bankruptcy because most or all of their debts have been removed from their credit report. In fact, you may be able to achieve a credit score above 700 only a few years years after a bankruptcy.

The 2005 Bankruptcy Law Change Should Not Prevent You From Filing Bankruptcy

Congress did try to eliminate the Chapter 7 bankruptcy option for certain people with high incomes, but statistics have shown that the new laws have affected less than 1% of the cases filed since the law changed.
