About Holly
Biography
I am a bankruptcy attorney in Boise, Idaho, and also represent clients in California.
Consultations:
I offer structured consultations to evaluate your situation and discuss your options.
Chapter 7 consultation (30 minutes): $150
Chapter 11 / Subchapter V consultation (up to 60 minutes, video): $500
Consultation fees are credited toward any retainer if you decide to move forward.
Payment is required at the time of booking.
(Appointments are in Mountain Time and by phone only unless otherwise noted.)
I got into bankruptcy law because when I was growing up we lost our house to foreclosure and later we also got evicted from another house. We were on welfare off and on. Financial problems never seemed to cease when I was a kid. I have real empathy for what my clients are going through. I know first hand how scary it can be. Although my parents did not have the tools to prevent some of the hardships, I now have the tools under the Bankruptcy Code to help my clients avoid some of the outcomes I had to deal with as a kid.
My hobbies are baking, history, and cycling.

Absolutely Fantastic
Holly was a blessing to my family and I. The entire process was so foreign and stressful and she made it almost seamless. Holly eased all of my concerns and explained everything very clearly.

My wife and I were going through a very tough time. Medical bills etc. We found Holly through a friend. Holly did a great job...made things as clear and painless as possible. We were very happy with her work, attitude and of course, the solution to our situation.
