Financial problems are one of the most common sources of marital strife. Also, divorce can be an expensive process - leaving people with few options other than bankruptcy.

We handle both of these matters, and we understand the relationships between divorce and bankruptcy. This allows us to effectively counsel clients who must address both issues.
