A little about myself, I have been practicing law for over 18 years. During that time I have seen what the burden of debt can do to individuals and families. If you are buried under a mountain of debt and you don’t think there is any way out. Let me assure you there is. Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and uncontested divorce is what I specialize in.
When I started this firm over twelve years ago, my goal was to help people better their lives. I want to exceed my clients’ expectations, and guide them through the bankruptcy or divorce process in a low-stress, friendly way that will lead to a higher quality of life. I understand that you are considering filing bankruptcy because finances are tight, and that’s why my fees are typically a fraction of other attorneys in Northern Virginia & Richmond charge.
Call me today for your free no strings attached consultation. We can sit down and see if bankruptcy is the right move for you.

Save Yourself the Time
We reached out to this law firm because of the positive reviews we saw via Yelp, etc. Unfortunately, our experience was not positive. We spoke with Michael Sandler in October 2024 regarding filing a new Chapter 7 case once our Chapter 13 was dismissed in Feb 2025. We were given clear details on w...
Mr. Gay is correct that I would not file a case for him. One thing you will find when you hire me is that I take my job representing you very seriously. My first email to you will tell you everything that is required, and if you can’t provide me with the paperwork that I need I can’t do my job. As you can see from every other feedback, my clients don’t have problems and their cases go smoothly because I am so careful on the paperwork. Mr. Gay did not mention that I asked him over and over again for better income documentation, which he either would not or could not provide. If you want your case carefully reviewed and filed, I am happy to represent you. If you want me to look the other way or make things up, you’ve got to go elsewhere.

"I became familiar with Michael's bankruptcy law practice through a mutual business associate. It quickly became obvious that Michael has spent many hours preparing informational videos for potential clients to obtain quality information about the entire bankruptcy process that are readily available on his website. Michael maintains a small office practice that allows him to personally assist each client and help them with a very difficult time in their lives. Watch the videos. He really cares and wants to help. I highly endorse Michael."
