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!

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!

Excellent administrative and legal counsel

Ms. Hovenden provided exceptional legal counsel and guidance throughout the entire Chapter 11 process, from my initial consultation throughout the five years to the eventual dismissal of the case. I would utilize her again and I have referred other friends to her.

I would recommend Jeanne Hovenden for all bankruptcy needs.

My wife and I came upon some difficult financial times and turned to Jeanne for guidance. Jeanne never made us feel ashamed of our situation and tirelessly exhausted through all of our options. Ultimately, we decided to file a Chapte 7 bankruptcy. Due to out situation Jeanne worked with us for app...roximately two years until we finally received our descharge. During that time she promptly answered questions, ammended the filing accordingly, and was always honest with us. I have had the opportuntiy to refer Jeanne business already and will continue to do so as the opportunities arise. I hope no one has to endure the stress of a bankruptcy, but if they do Jeanne is the right attorney for the job. Her knowledge and compassion are unsurpassed.
