His first position was at Roquemore, Pringle & Moore with a bankruptcy trustee working on staff.
If you need a way out of overwhelming debt, bankruptcy could be your way to financial freedom. Bankruptcy is a not a journey that you should take alone, however, nor should you accept less than expert guidance through the legal thicket of bankruptcy law and procedure. At LeverLaw, our bankruptcy attorney offers the focus, insight, and dedication you need to find the right form of debt relief for you.
Saying you are "insolvent" is the technical way of saying you cannot pay your debts. While boiling down a concept to one word can be useful, what you need to know is this is serious. It's the equivalent of financial cancer. Just like the medical condition, it needs to be diagnosed. Most people who are insolvent don't know they are insolvent.
Absent an objective accounting like a bankruptcy lawyer would do, here are some signs that maybe you should look closer at whether you are insolvent and need a bankruptcy. You have high credit card balances and you only use credit cards for your expenses rather than cash or ATM because you have to do that.
Chapter 7 is the "liquidation" chapter of bankruptcy-its name literally based on a book chapter. This 7th chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is a federal remedy for people and companies who cannot repay their debt. It is the quickest and simplest way to file bankruptcy. In about four months after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, debtors can get their discharge order, which means that they no longer have to pay their debts and the case is closed.

Dale and the team at Lever Law was extremely helpful during my house move. We hit a lot of problems from my buyers side and although i had to chase updates a few times they were always up to date on their end and were waiting for the other side to catch up. Highly recommend their services. Everyone was really professional and supportive!

Would just like to take the time to thank Lever Law for the excellent service that they have provided to us for the second time now. They have been professional from start to finish and have made every effort to ensure the sale of our property and purchase of our new property has been seamless. In particular we would like to thank Grace and Dale for their help throughout the process and fast responses whenever contact has been made. Their efforts have put us at ease through a stressful period and we couldn’t be more thankful. We would highly recommend Lever Law and will not hesitate to use them

My wife and I used Lever Law in the early summer for a house sale and purchase. Our local solicitor had to pull out for technical reasons and our estate agent suggested Lever Law. This was lucky for us, as although they were a little further away geographically, that mattered not a jot and the process went really very well.
We were steered through a high pressure period - May/June 2021 during a surge in house moves because of the stamp duty waiver. The whole process was navigated in just over 7 weeks which was impressive. there were no glitches from the solicitor side. They were the only solicitors

We used lever law for our sale and our purchase. They handled the case in a timely professional manner. When our purchase hit a rocky patch, they advised and helped us to resolve. Dale was fantastic and resolved a situation with another solicitor been very unreasonable and unprofessional which risked us not been able to move. Thankfully Dale resolved this, saving us not only stamp duty but what would have been hundreds in costs of removals etc so we are very grateful. Highly recommended and will use again if we move again.

My girlfriend and I used Lever Law for our first home purchase and they were the opposite of what you worry solicitors might be. Dale was our main contact and he was constantly keeping us up to date with what the current situation was, what the next steps were, and copying us into most correspondence so we were fully informed. Whenever we contacted them for an update on anything we got a very prompt response. Whenever it was on Lever Law to process something to move the purchase forward it was done so quickly. The total cost at the end of it all was broken down clearly and matched with what they

I had no idea what kind of service to expect from a solicitor as this was my first ever property purchase. However, I was very impressed with Lever Law from start to finish.
The process was a complicated one, but the team were always hand to help things move forwards again -- not once did I feel like I was being a burden or asking to much of them.
I would highly recommend Lever Law's professional, speedy, and friendly services for your next property sale or purchase!
