Once you hire us, we will prepare all the necessary documents and act as your representative at all meetings with creditors and hearings with the Bankruptcy Trustee. You don't have to handle this on your own any more. Now you'll have an advocate.

A Word About Bankruptcy and Personal Injury Claims

In Rhode Island, the money that you receive from a personal injury case is not exempt in bankruptcy. This is unfortunate because many people who have been through a lengthy personal injury case are in great financial hardship. They may need to declare bankruptcy. If your personal injury settlement comes through while you are working through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee is likely to take that money to pay your creditors.

Chapter 7 bankrupties in Massachusetts are handled differently than in Rhode Island. We handle cases in both states so ask us about it.
