If you are overwhelmed by the constant harassment of creditors and you would like to move past this difficult time in your life, Attorney Kevin R. McMillan can help you through the maze of filing bankruptcy under the bankruptcy law to emerge with confidence. We represent clients throughout Northeast Ohio including the counties of Cuyahoga, Summit, Lake, Geauga, Lorain, and Ashtabula which includes the cities of Cleveland, Akron, Mentor, Painesville, Chardon, Lorain, and Ashtabula.

The bankruptcy law that took effect in October of 2005 was portrayed as a change that would make it impossible to file bankruptcy. However, that is not the case. In fact, less than 10% of the cases filed as Chapter 7 bankruptcies have been affected by the new law. You can still file for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy, but it is now even more important to have the assistance of an experienced bankruptcy attorney to guide you through the process and to meet the detailed requirements of the law.

Attorney Kevin R. McMillan has nearly 30 years of experience assisting clients with their bankruptcy needs. He provides direct and competent counsel to individuals and small businesses according to their unique and particular situations.

At McMillan & Sobel, you will meet in person with an attorney (not an assistant) to evaluate your personal circumstances to direct and craft a solution tailored to your particular needs. We will advise you on whether to file bankruptcy, and if so, whether a Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or other personal bankruptcy solution is best for you. We also represent small businesses and their owners in bankruptcy related matters.

BANKRUPTCY MATTERS FOR BUSINESSES

Due to our extensive experience in representing businesses, McMillan & Sobel also offers competent representation of businesses in bankruptcy related matters. We have experience in adversarial proceedings before the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Ohio. We ensure our business clients’ rights and interests are preserved throughout bankruptcy proceedings in collections matters, protection of security interests, foreclosures, preferences, and other matters relevant to businesses.

BANKRUPTCY IN FAMILY LAW
