After graduating from Harvard Law School, I decided to dedicate my life to helping people who are having problems with debt. While I practice bankruptcy law, I strive to give my clients service that includes much more than simply preparing a bankruptcy petition. I use every statute on the books - the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, The Unfair and Deceptive Trade Pactices Act, Mortgage Servicing Laws, The Truth in Lending Act, etc. to help my clients fight back against abusive mortgage companies and debt collectors.

"Grant is truly the most gifted legal mind I have ever met. His Harvard Law degree is only the first step in his knowledge. He is literally known around the world as an expert in current trends in business and technology. Attorneys and CEO's around the globe keep his number at their fingertips, but he always has time to help anyone in legal need. I endorse Grant for any role in your business or personal legal matter."

"I have become familiar with Mr. Patten's professionalism and expertise through his postings and answers on Avvo. He has been on-point each time. Each answer also demonstrates the personability necessary to work for individuals in need of bankruptcy assitance. NC is fortunate to have him there."
