Bankruptcy and Debt 35%

I counsel debtors regarding options. Each case has unique aspects and people who are in debt often feel they have no rights and no choices. I tell them their rights and help them make choices to make their lives better.

Foreclosure 25%

I handle problems with mortgages, modifications and a borrowers rights under the law. Missing payments, failure to properly calculate the mortgage, or a simple failure by the lender to communicate can all be fixed.

Bankruptcy Litigation

Mr Hanratty walked myself and my wife through the processes for filing bankruptcy in a very formative manner. He instructed us in a step by step process and handled our case exceptionally well. I would like to personally thank both him and his staff for a great job. Regards, John A & Angie M Hegedus....

The most reliable lawyer I ever met

Mr. Gantry helped me set up my nonprofit. He is the most knowledgeable , patient and reliable lawyer I ever met. I used some other lawyers before, but I felt like I wasted their time when working with them as they were so impatient and didn’t want to let you know more details. Highly recommend !

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
