About Nancy
Biography
My practice involves representing consumers, farmers and businesses in Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13 bankruptcy. I also represent consumers and farmers in mortgage foreclosure, debt collection defense and fair credit reporting, including debtors with student loans. I have over 33 years of experience working with consumers and farmers burdened with debt. Our goal is to help eliminate or manage that debt for people so that they can focus on the more important aspects of their life.
On a personal note, I am a native Iowan and the single mother of a teenage son.

My Review of Nancy Thompson
Nancy was very helpful at explaining the bankruptcy process to me. I am so glad I called her about my situation and was able to get her assistance and she truly helped me out a bad situation I put myself in. I will refer her to others who are looking for a great, reasonable attorney.
