Is Bankruptcy Right for You?
Judgment-free Guidance is Just a Phone Call Away.
Tracy understands that anyone can face financial difficulty for reasons beyond their control. Whether your business was impacted by the pandemic, you lost a job, are struggling with medical bills, or divorce has left you carrying more debt that you can manage, you have options. Debt does not have to ruin your life.
She also understands that many individuals managing crippling debt may feel embarrassed and guilty, leaving them stuck with a mountain of obligations – often accumulating additional debt to pay ongoing bills, feeling too ashamed to seek help and perpetuating the vicious cycle.

Making the decision to file for bankruptcy is not easy and the financial pressure can be overwhelming.
