Is bankruptcy right for you? Should you “go it alone” against the creditor, banks and their attorneys?
Finding the road ahead in these difficult financial times can be daunting. Creditors, their attorneys and debt collectors have become more aggressive in their tactics, and banks, many of whom owe their existence to taxpayer-funded bailouts, are often unwilling to help. It may seem easier to turn away from the situation and let it run its course, but the results are typically worse than they would have been if you had dealt with the situation head on.

Our Tacoma Bankruptcy Attorney Client Commitment
Our Tacoma bankruptcy attorneys and law firm make the following commitment to clients of our bankruptcy / distressed consumer finances practice group. This commitment guides the conduct of our practice group, how we represent our clients and how we pursue their interests.
1. We are Tacoma bankruptcy lawyers and a firm of attorneys. The people we serve are our clients. We will never attempt to limit our responsibilities to our clients by disavowing the attorney-client relationship we have with them and purporting to act as “consultants.”
Read your chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney engagement agreement carefully! We have seen unfortunate cases where attorneys attempt to limit their responsibility to you by purporting to be engaged as your “consultant”, not your “attorney”! Our Tacoma bankruptcy attorneys will never do this.
2. The attorney rules of professional conduct guide the manner of our work. As professional Washington bankruptcy attorneys, we will strive to meet them in both letter and spirit.
3. Clients of our Tacoma bankruptcy attorneys seek our professional services because they are in difficult financial situations. We recognize that our clients did not intentionally put themselves in such a situation. Our bankruptcy attorneys will never judge our clients and will represent them with compassion, professionalism and competence.
4. As bankruptcy attorneys, our obligation is to understand each client’s unique situation, present our clients with alternative means of addressing their legal issues, and help them understand the implications of the choices they make. We work together with our clients to assist them in achieving their goals. The goal of our Tacoma bankruptcy attorneys is to work together with our clients to help them find the road ahead.
5. We are advocates only for our clients. As Tacoma bankruptcy attorneys, we proudly represent the people of Tacoma, Pierce County, Seattle and King County, Washington. In representing and advocating for our clients we will exercise professional judgment and render candid advice.
6. We will always fully disclose any relationship we may have with any other party involved in a client’s matter. We will clearly outline the fees our Tacoma bankruptcy attorneys charge as well as costs that may be incurred in any client matter.
