also known as Attorney Mark Buckley CFP
Attorney Buckley served for several years on the Advisory Committee to the US Bankruptcy Court. He has counseled thousands of clients overwhelmed with debt and helped them achieve a fresh start.
While a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is not the only option, it is the best option for those who have no reasonable ability to repay their debts; especially those who are dealing with wage attachments, lawsuits, unemployment, disability/ illness, divorce or other life changing events. Those living on a fixed income, particularly Senior Citizens, also benefit greatly from our help.
If you are concerned about losing your home or car, or ruining your credit, you should know that the vast majority of my clients have kept all of their property and improved their credit rating.
We offer honest friendly advice for all your questions and will gladly discuss your situation. If you qualify for bankruptcy, a free in-home appointment can be made days, evenings, or weekends anywhere in Rhode Island or Massachusetts.

Very Professional
During the ending phases of the downturn in the economy, around 2012-2015, my wife and I found ourselves digging into our savings just to keep the heat on, food on the table and provide support for our four children.

Very easy process
Mark was very helpful and does most of the work. Basically, he comes to your house. You give him all your credit card statements and all other bill statements involved in the case.

Best bankrupcy attorney
Mark was professional, knowledgable and explained the entire process to file for bankrupcy. We where nervous and new to this but he made a very easy process. We were in a difficult time financially and filing for bankrupcy was the best decision we ever made! We highly recommend Mark.
