A leader in Bankruptcy Law, Stephen uses his extensive experience, knowledge, and skill to seamlessly guide his clients through the bankruptcy process with as little disruption to their lives as possible and to obtain the best results for his clients who have had to file a chapter 7, 12, or 13 bankruptcy.
It is also referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy" or "straight bankruptcy." It is the most common form of bankruptcy in the United States. In this type of case, the bankruptcy trustee collects all of your non-exempt assets (described below), sells them, and then distributes the cash to your creditors as provided by law.
This type of bankruptcy is sometimes referred to as "wage-earner bankruptcy" or "debt repayment bankruptcy" or "debt reorganization bankruptcy." In chapter 13, the bankruptcy court is presented with a plan for the repayment of a portion of your debts owed over a period of time, generally 3 to 5 years.

Stephen Behm is great! I had a unique case for bankruptcy and he has always been there to answer questions and to help out for months! I would highly recommend! Sometimes it takes a while because the process does take time. He makes the time for you which is better than most other attorneys. Thank you Stephen!

Very attentive. Very knowledgeable. Very easy to talk to. Plain speaking, decent guy who happens to be a lawyer. Practices only bankruptcy law which is an asset to clients. Knows court and trustee staff all around the state which is also an asset. Decent staff. Affordably priced as well. This is the kind of attorney you want representing you.

Great service, always answered questions right away. Loved his laid back approach when meeting with him in his office but very professional when he needed to be. Was easy to talk to. Was a very stressful process but his office walks you through everything.

I had fallen for the "Debt Settlement" program promises about 22 months ago. About 4 months ago, I had a levy hit my checking account. The debt settlement company was not able to help me.
That is when I contacted Stephen Behm. He was able to clearly and quickly help me through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy protections stopped the levy immediately.
Stephen and Christina are both easy to communicate with and return emails very promptly. I am glad I decided to have them help me with this process.
They were able to guide me clearly to the documents that I needed to collect for them
