Until the coronavirus restrictions are lifted, we will be offering our services with the least physical contact as is possible. When you call for an appointment we will explain how we are committed to assisting with your problems safely.
My staff and I make every effort to make our clients comfortable while dealing with this difficult time in their lives. You will not be pressured to make an immediate decision but will be given sufficient information to permit you to make an informed decision.
I have served as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee since 1982. I have actively represented debtors from the Northeast Tennessee region in all chapters of bankruptcy since 1980. My practice has been devoted solely to bankruptcy and financial workouts since 2000. I am active in bankruptcy related professional organizations and a frequent speaker on bankruptcy related topics. I am not certified as a bankruptcy specialist as I have never chosen to pursue such a certification.

Did an amazing job
The case was an odd bankruptcy case considering we had someone who wanted to still be paid after we filed. She went above what she normally does and had to represent us at 3 different court dates. She was great! I recommend her to everyone who is looking to file bankruptcy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our services. Admittedly we had no idea when we filed the case that this particular creditor was going to cause so much trouble but the correct outcome prevailed.

Knowledgeable and Highly Efficient
Mrs. Fugate and her staff were very knowledgeable about the different types of Bankruptcy and helped me to make a difficult decision easier. I was also having difficulty with a creditor and they were able to communicate with the company and get information for me that I needed.
Thank you so much for taking the time during this busy time of year to share your thoughts on our representation. We are so glad that we were able to help you navigate through this difficult process. Your feedback helps us do our job even better.
