While bankruptcy laws are quite compassionate towards individuals who have fallen on hard times, they can be harsh on creditors who are forced to absorb a loss that helps finance the debtor's fresh start. However, if you've received a notice of bankruptcy by someone who owes you money, don't assume that you have no rights.

Report
Our new business, Little Point Clear suites & space was recently involved in a zoning issue as a result of neighbors/city/county regulations that just simply didn't make common sense. We needed great lawyers to facilitate a resolution, but more importantly, we needed results so we could continue to operate and build our business! Tom and Jay could see all our efforts, sweat equity and the value we added to the community and quickly became champions for LPC! As a business owner for over 30 years, I'd give these two lawyers a 5 star on all fronts based on their approach, intuition, communication
