If you are considering filing bankruptcy, the first step is a free initial phone consultation with attorney Karen Ware.

We use the steps below to make the consultation as easy as possible.

Step One: Gathering Basic Financial Information

Before beginning the initial consultation, we gather some basic financial information from you. Providing this information up front allows more time to discuss the details of your situation with the attorney.

You can provide the basic financial information over the phone or by completing this form:

After you have completed the form, the attorney will call you to complete the free phone consultation.

If you prefer, you can schedule a call back time here: Schedule a call back time to finish your consultation

Step Two: Consultation with Attorney

After reviewing the basic financial information you submitted in Step One, the attorney will call you to continue the consultation. During this call, the attorney will:

• Discuss your situation in more detail.
• Advise you as to which type of bankruptcy might be most helpful for you.
• Suggest alternative strategies if bankruptcy is not a good fit for you.
• Call your attention to any issues with your income, expenses, or assets.
• Describe the overall bankruptcy process and go over each step with you.
• Give you an estimate of fees based on the information discussed during the consultation.
• While the attorney will give as much general information and feedback as possible, the free consultation is not designed to give finalized legal advice. The attorney will typically need to research legal issues before giving advice, and this is not possible in the course of a phone call.
