Lawsuits and Disputes 5%

If a creditor violates the bankruptcy discharge by trying to collect a debt that was included in the bankruptcy, we will sue that creditor in federal court to stop the harassment. Debts are bought and sold by collection companies all the time. This even happens with debts included in a bankruptcy that are no longer legally collectible. You should be free of these claims after your bankruptcy - and we will take the step needed to make the ceditor sorry they tried to collect that debt.

First and hopefully last bankruptcy

Shortly after Covid got it's grip on Virginia Ms. Hovenden still took my bankruptcy case. From start to finish she fully explained everything that was going on. My bankruptcy case was handled professionally and was over before I knew it!

Money Very Well Spent

I was filing a Chapter 13 on my own, and soon realized I was in far over my head. Therefore, because we wanted a lawyer nearby to Fredericksburg, we contacted Jeanne Hovenden. It was the best decision we could have made. She was approachable, friendly, and most importanlt, knowledgabe. She set to wor...k fixing our mistakes, and put us back on track in short order. That was 5 years ago, and during the process, she promply answered our questions, and kept us informed. We never felt like she had taken the money and forgot about us, but was a true advocate. We never thought we would get there, but 5 years later, we recieved our discharge. Thanks in no small part to the tireless efforts and encouragement, of Jeanne Hovenden

Very helpful

I was having a harb time understanding the bankruptcy process and she broke it down to where no i fully understand it. She responded quickly to my request to speak with her. I would recommend her to everyone.

Need for bankruptcy

I was overwhelmed with my financial situation when I went to see Attorney Jeanne Hovenden. She is an incredibly knowledgeable attorney and knew right away what was needed to be done to get me out of the crisis I was in. She gave me the steps and direction I needed, along with the reassurance that I ...was doing the right thing. She was always available to answer my many questions and concerns! She was genuinely concerned about what I was going through. I feel she truly wanted what was best for me. If it wasn't the right decision to file a bankruptcy, I have no doubt she would have been honest and told me. The cost was also very reasonable. She is an excellent attorney that knows her job well! She gets 5 stars from me!
