ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT FILING BANKRUPTCY? CONTACT ME FOR A FREE CONSULTATION!

Are you thinking about Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy? Contact me for a free consultation. 

I've filed over one thousand bankruptcy petitions and helped many people reach their financial goals using the bankruptcy laws.  If you've got questions, I can help you with the answers.  Be aware that what you read online may not apply in your state.  I can help you filter out the truth and get you on the right path.  My team and I will be with you the whole way to answer every question that arises.  I file both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, and I can tell you how both chapters would apply to your specific situation so you can make an educated decision on your future.  

I also help clients by drafting Gun Trusts for both NFA and non NFA firearms and related items.  

I'd be honored to chat with you and see how we can serve you.  I look forward to working with you!

We are a debt relief agency. We help people obtain relief under the bankruptcy code.

Awesome person
Our experience with Ms. Gay has been wonderful. Since our first meeting with her she took her time to talk to us about the situation, the procedure and what to expect . I love that she takes the time to explain everything and answer every question , she replies to ALL of our emails and phone calls. I feel we couldn't be in better hands.

Lifesaver
She explained everything to me because I had no idea about stuff like that. She helped me finally be able to see the light with the debt I had and saved me a lot of money. I came out so much better getting her services.

I met with Alissa in February and she made feel comfortable and content on my decision to actually refile my bankruptcy case. She listened and not only treat me with the utmost respect, but most of all treated me like I mattered.

Awesome
She was very helpful and took the time to explain options. She was very professional yet personable with us. She explained the process of our bankruptcy in detail without talking a bunch of legal jargon we couldn’t understand and gave us realistic goals. Very honest and we would recommend her to any of friends and family.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy
I went too see Mrs. Gay regarding a bankruptcy. She was very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy laws and in explaining which would be the best to help me in my situation. She was very kind and professional and did not make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed by your financial situation. I would highly recommend her for any one considering bankruptcy filing.
