About Susan
Biography
With my Bankruptcy law practice in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies, I feel the immediate impact I have on people’s lives. I see people who need immediate help with dire financial and personal situations. With my directed advice, I am able to resolve clients’ immediate problems. With my counsel and suggestions, I am able to put clients on a path towards financial wholeness that they might have never experienced before. I see my role as a bankruptcy attorney as more than just filing a petition. I provide a comprehensive level of service and attention. I hold my clients’ hands as we walk through this process together and provide guidance and advice so my clients have the tools to make sound financial decisions once they receive their bankruptcy discharges.
I manage all of my bankruptcy cases, whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, closely and am a zealous advocate for my clients. My clients come in with urgent problems, and I am able to come up with immediate solutions.

Great to work with!
Susan was incredibly helpful and reassuring. She knew bankruptcy law and was with me every step of the way. I never felt scared during the process. Thank you Susan!

Susan Blum on Chapter 7
Susan kept us informed throughout the process. From my original inquiry call, the review of the means test, the 341 hearing, the final disposition and all the times in between. We never dealt with any paralegal or anyone else but Susan. This was a difficult case, it could have gone to a chapter 13...

A bad chapter in life made more pleasant by Susan
We hired Susan to handle our "over means test" chapter 7. She got us in on a chapter 7 when I feared it was not possible. We had ZERO hiccups or obstacles with the trustees. Several people in court had hired a "BK mill" attorney. They were totally unprepared, missing documents and could not answer so...

The quick email to address a question or something that needed to be taken care of on a Saturday or even a Sunday, was sometimes just what we needed to calm the avalanche of worry that happens when you begin the journey of Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
