I am Atlanta bankruptcy attorney Shannon D. McDuffie, and I represent clients in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases in and around metro Atlanta and Athens, Georgia.
I am a solo-practice attorney, who offers service to my clients that is unmatched by the big firms. I understand the difficulty clients have in making that first phone call to a bankruptcy attorney, and I promise to take as much time as needed to explain the process of filing.
I answer all client phone calls and emails personally. I will always be with you at every court appearance. You will always know who your attorney is, and how to get hold of me.
I have significant experience handling both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. Bankruptcy is all I do, and I am happy doing ‘just that’ for my clients. The bankruptcy code is complex, and there are many bad outcomes from which clients need to be protected. The code also offers significant protection for debtors from their creditors, and I love talking to clients about the power of the code.
I believe, and I can demonstrate, that filing bankruptcy offers debtors a legal means to creatively solve their financial problems holistically. Let me explain to you why it is almost always more cost effective and more efficient to file bankruptcy than it is to be eaten alive by creditors who will not stop.
I have stopped foreclosures, ended wage garnishments, stripped second mortgages, discharged millions of dollars of my clients’ unsecured debt, avoided judgments, handled tax claims, negotiated reaffirmation agreements, helped clients to surrender properties, etc. I always give my clients honest answers and advice about what happens when they file and how to prepare for their ‘fresh start.’
I file both Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. I will thoroughly analyze your assets, liabilities, and income before advising you about which Chapter you should consider filing. Sometimes there are compelling reasons for potential clients to not file bankruptcy, and if this is the case for you, I will explain your other legal options to you. My consultation is free.
I am also a zealous consumer advocate. I pride myself on my ability to help my clients level the playing field with regard to their debts and creditors. I believe that an informed client gets the most out of this process, and is therefore the best client.
I am happy to talk to you about the financial issues you and your family are facing.
