America Believes in Redemption
One of the great things about being an American is that we believe in redemption. U.S. bankruptcy law is an important element of the most efficient economy in the world. The ability to get a fresh start if things go badly encourages entrepreneurs to take risks they would not otherwise take. If we still "broke the bench" of merchants who ran in to a tough time we would have very few people willing to innovate. The same bankruptcy law helps people who have lost their jobs in our ruthlessly efficient economy recover as well as those who have had an Iowa foreclosure, high medical bills, experienced a divorce or other financial calamity. A vibrant economy inevitably results in some members needing a fresh start.

Building lobby. When you arrive...
There is an elevator. Restrooms are at the top of the stairs. There is a Quizno’s sandwich shop and a Coffee Café within a few doors of our office if you arrive early or need lunch.
I'll admit, I am somewhat of an efficiency freak. I have my office designed for efficient & accurate petition preparation. First, I do not use packets. Clients told me they hated them and I found them hard to interpret anyway. So we do your entire petition across my desk. The computer monitor on the left in this picture is where you will watch your bankruptcy petition being drafted. I have found this is the best way to reduce errors and omissions. It is much better to get it right the first time than to try and fix problems later.

Feel free to call me in Des Moines at:
Telephone 515-261-7526 Toll Free 1-800-997-1395
I can often answer email even quicker since I check it after hours as time allows. I can also catch email in spare moments while a client is in my office. In either case I can answer your questions. You pay me nothing for initial consultation. Half of my job is just addressing the fear people have of losing their home or other property & I can often do that in a series of emails.
