About Nick
Biography
Nick C. Thompson is a dedicated attorney focusing on bankruptcy and foreclosure defense, serving the Louisville, Kentucky area. With a legal career spanning over 30 years, he focuses on utilizing Chapters 7 and 13 to help manage financial challenges like mortgage, business, student loan, and income tax debts for individuals and small businesses. Since 1991, Nick has built a reputation for excellence in consumer bankruptcy law. Committed to providing personalized service, he has limited his practice to fewer than 20 cases per month since 2005, ensuring each client receives the dedicated attention they deserve, without delegation to paralegals or junior attorneys.
Nick's rich background includes a significant role as an assistant attorney general in West Virginia, where he contributed to the state tax code development. His financial acumen is further supported by his experience in inventory accounting for an oil company and working with lenders. While he has the training to be a CPA, Nick chose to focus on law, practicing in federal court. His legal career has been diverse, with positions as a prosecuting attorney, assistant county attorney, and a federal public defender under the CJA program, reflecting his commitment to legal excellence and client advocacy.

He's the man
Mr. Thompson was able to explain the Chapter process to me, and helped me take care of financial mess, a previous attorney had me in. He was straight forward and very honest. I am so grateful to him and his staff for their awesome services

Excellent service!!
When my husband suggested we file bankruptcy. I was apprehensive because of the stigma of being a failure that some people attach to bankruptcy. I must say now it was the best move for our financial situation and thanks to Mr. Thompsons professionalism we are now debt free and have a better understan...

Replied last August 17, 2016Thanks for the review. We really appreciate both when we find out we are working and any helpful criticism to help us be better. At the very least clients have the right to expect quality representation and real help and advise that leads them to a healthy budget.

Expectations exceeded!
I recently had a medical bill garnishment come up out of nowhere from 2002 in KY I knew NOTHING about. I had already moved back to CA before the summons or judgment were given and never knew of it. Everything was stacked against me and did not look good after 14 years. Nick and his awesome assistan...

my experience
Mr Thompson did a okay job. There were times I wish I would of read his book first then talked everything over. I would of loved to have help with the student loan. All my credit card debt was wiped out but there was still a lot of other debt. Overall he did a good job and I would recommend his offi...

Replied last April 02, 2016I appreciate your comment. Bankruptcy isn’t ordering a pizza. A client and the lawyer have to work together to get great results. If your attorney just files a bankruptcy petition and walks in and out of court you will get poor results. That’s all most offices do. If you want outstanding results you have to put work into it. Most of our clients think we do an outstanding job and get outstanding results. We show clients the best credit sweeping services. We partner with Dave Ramsey so clients can take the bankruptcy version of his financial peace university course free. Elsewhere, you pay hundreds to thousands to take this course. The president of the mortgage bankers association shows our clients how to get a mortgage after bankruptcy at a prime rate so buying a home is cheaper than renting. At our office you can take advantage of what other offices don't even tell you about. When there is additional legal work that can be done to eliminate a second mortgage or a student loan we do it. We don’t just file the petition. If you plan and design the petition properly it will wipe out income taxes and debts you thought you couldn't wipe out. Sometimes we wipe out a second mortgage or student loan. I believe we give great directions in showing you how to live within a budget and by doing our job.
