My practice mirrors the variety of cases that come before the Bankruptcy Court. I represent debtors, Trustees, creditors, and other parties in interest under all of the various bankruptcy chapters. I enjoy assisting regular people and their businesses in resolving financial problems that might otherwise be debilitating for them and their families. I handle bankruptcy matters from the most routine to the very complex, often receiving referrals from other bankruptcy attorneys, and my reputation is for providing the highest quality legal services at reasonable, competitive rates.
Outside of my work life, I enjoy running and reading and spending time with my family.

Steve and Anne Did an Outstanding Job!
I initially consulted Steve Ramsdell in 2014 regarding my financial situation and several significant liabilities, including taxes due to the IRS, that my wife and I were unable to pay due to several other competing substantial expenses, including secondary and college education costs for our childre...

Steven Ramsdell - Chapter 7 bankruptcy
In a particularly difficult set of circumstances, Mr. Ramsdell provided an island of calm as he professionally helped me with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. His attention to detail was outstanding. Specially of note is he took the time to listen. Mr. Ramsdell was able to anticipate everything the court wo...

There are no words to express my gratitude for Mr. Ramsdell. He is a very compassionate and a very knowledgeable attorney. He answered questions timely and very clearly.

Chapter 7 Representation
It's hard to express just how grateful we are for Mr. Ramsdell's services. We expected Chapter 7 would be extremely difficult, but with his mentoring and assistance we experienced a relatively painless process. We felt horrible about filing bankruptcy - he explained that the process was meant for p...

Amazing Lawyer
I interviewed a bunch of lawyer for my complex chapter 7 and Steve was more knowledgeable than the other but the impressive part was when we went to court. The judge thanked Steve for everything ready and we were in and out, simple but some of the lawyers I interviewed were at court too but the judg...
Actually, it was a creditors' hearing before the Trustee rather than a court hearing before the bankruptcy judge. Thank you very much for the kind review.
"Steve is my firm's go-to bankruptcy lawyer when we have a client in need of protection. His expertise and experience is unmatched."
"Steve mentored me as I was a young bankruptcy attorney practicing in Virginia. In fact, it was at Steve's suggestion that I open my own practice when my wife and I decided to move to Texas. Without the invaluable experience I gained working with and for Steve, I do not believe I would have been in a position to do so. I value Steve's in-depth knowledge of all things bankruptcy and would recommend him to anyone."
"I endorse Steven Ramsdell. He is an outstanding attorney. I have referred many clients to him and we have worked on multiple complex tax bankruptcy cases together. I highly recommend Attorney Ramsdell."
