I highly recommend Harris Ammerman for any bankruptcy and debt-related legal help

I recommend Harris and his staff to anyone seeking bankruptcy-related representation. Harris has a kind, non-judgmental demeanor that immediately put me at ease. I appreciated his no-frills approach in getting right to work on our case without any unnecessary extra steps or delays. He was thorough ...and dedicated to working our case and helping us in our goal to stay in our home despite the financial and legal challenges we faced.

Help when it was needed

My husband left me and I was unable to pay my debts. Mr. Ammerman and his staff walked me through the steps of a chapter 13 bankruptcy. He always answers my questions and explains the process so I can understand. He is reassuring and patient and I know I am in good hands.

Medical Bankruptcy

Due to a large amount of medical bills the hospital was in the process of garnishing our paycheck, suing us and destroying our credit. Mr. Ammerman filed chapter 13 for us and reconstructed our debt and as of July 2019 we'll be DEBT FREE! Even in between Mr. Ammerman has been extremely helpful in var...ious other situations. We've been working with this office for almost 5 years and he and his staff are always super nice, respectful and professional!

DebtFree

Self-employed and facing foreclosure...Mr. Ammerman gave me an option to save my home and business. 5 years later I completed a Chapter 13 program and able to start over again with the tools not to end up in the same position. Mr. Ammerman was masterful when working through the debt that I had acc...umulated over the years. He negotiated well with my creditors and dealt with issues that I had along the well. I didn't think I would be able to save my home and become debt free. But he made it happen!!! His staff is also very courteous and professional.
