Chelsea grew up in Ontario, Oregon with two hard-working, blue-collar parents. Upon graduating high school, she moved to Mississippi to attend the University of Southern Mississippi. She graduated in May of 2006 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. She spent several years working in restaurants, and various office jobs before deciding to go to law school. She attended the Appalachian School of Law and graduated in 2013. Her first foray into the legal profession was working on criminal defense cases. Once she filed her first bankrutptcy case and was able to help her clients make a fresh start, she was hooked. It has been her passion to help people, and everyday she enjoys helping people start on a new path. She moved to Ridgeland for two years before settling back in Hattiesburg with her husband, James and her daughter, Lorelai.
Practice areas
My passion is teaching people the benefits of the bankrutpcy system. I want everyone to understand that your current financial situation, doesn't have to dictate your future. The bankruptcy courts are an entire set of Federal Courts wholly devoted to help people get relief from their debt, either through discharge or through a feasible monthly payment.
