About Adrienne
Biography
With more than 16 years of experience in bankruptcy law, I can assist you in all of your business and individual bankruptcy needs. Call me for a free consultation to see if filing for bankruptcy will give you the fresh start you need to meet your personal or business goals.
I offer individuals and small businesses the same high level of service usually associated with big law, serving debtors, creditors and third parties in bankruptcy cases and workouts.
High-income Individuals as well as businesses may be able to restructure their financial obligations under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy enables eligible debtors to discharge many - and sometimes all - of their debts for a fresh start.
