McCune Law Firm Bankruptcy Team
Since 2002...
As 5280 magazine’s Top Attorney for Consumer Bankruptcy two years in a row, we’ve been helping people like you. The thing I like most about being a bankruptcy attorney is that I get to help good people move past a difficult time in their lives. We all deserve a second chance and our bankruptcy laws are here to help you get that fresh financial start you are looking for. I’ve been a regular speaker and lecturer at Continuing Legal Education bankruptcy seminars, where I instruct and counsel other bankruptcy attorneys concerning complicated aspects of bankruptcy law.
How does it work?
1. Tell us about your situation
Start by completing our brief online intake. We'll ask for some basic information about your debts, assets, income, expenses, and what you're hoping to accomplish.
2. We review your information
Our team reviews your intake before you schedule a consultation. This allows us to understand your situation, identify potential issues, and recommend the right attorney and type of consultation for your case. Based on that review we'll recommend one of two paths:
Attorney Consultation - $125
A 30-minute phone consultation with one of our bankruptcy attorneys. This is appropriate for most straightforward consumer bankruptcy matters.
Strategy Consultation with Matt McCune - $250
A 45-minute phone consultation with Matt for cases involving more complex financial business, asset, tax, real estate, or bankruptcy issues.
We'll let you know which consultation we recommend and why.
3. Know what to expect before you meet with us
Before scheduling your consultation, we'll provide information about the anticipated cost of hiring our firm based on the type of case you appear to have. If you decide to hire McCune legal after your consultation, 100% of your consultation fee is credited toward your attorney fee.
4. Hire us and get your case ready to file
Once you decide to move forward, we'll collect the remaining documents and information we need and prepare your bankruptcy case. For most clients who promptly provide everything we need, we're typically ready to review and sign the case within approximately two weeks.
5. Review, sign and file
You'll meet with your attorney to review your bankruptcy documents, ask any remaining questions, and make sure everything is accurate before filing. Once you're comfortable, we'll sign and file your case.
6. Get protection from your creditors
Filing bankruptcy generally triggers the automatic stay, which stops most collection activity, including collection calls, lawsuits, garnishments, and other creditor actions.
7. Move forward
Filing the case isn't the end of our job. We'll guide you through the bankruptcy process, prepare you for meeting with the bankruptcy trustee, help you understand what comes next, and work toward the fresh financial start that brought you to us in the first place.
You can count on the undivided attention of a team prizing relationships over profits.
There’s no way around it, struggling with debt is exhausting. It’s an emotional toll that takes over nearly every decision you make each and every day. I get it, because I was there 20 years ago. I’ve made it my mission to help anyone who is in the same position I was 20 years ago. My mission is to help you overcome the fear, embarrassment, and harassment that comes with struggling with debt. Before you make another financial decision, let’s talk. Our team can help you make informed decisions to keep your assets and make a plan for your financial future.
