About Us

For Texans planning their fresh start.

We believe a fresh start is for everyone.

Bankruptcy isn’t giving up; it’s using the law to protect your family, steady your finances, and move forward. We guide Dallas-Fort Worth clients through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 with clear steps, steady communication, and payment plans that fit real life.

Whether you are facing lawsuits, foreclosure threats, or relentless calls, our team meets you where you are and builds a plan around Texas exemptions and local trustee expectations. We’re here from your first call to your final discharge.
