Helping You End the Stress With a Fresh Financial Start

We understand this reality and can empathize with the struggles you face now and what lies ahead for you. You may want to consider filing bankruptcy. You may be able to keep your home and discharge your medical bills, your credit card debt, and possibly your student loans.

While Clair Gjertsen & Weathers PLLC look for non-bankruptcy options first in saving your home, bankruptcy may become the best choice in giving you a fresh financial start. If you qualify, we will help you from the application process to the formal reorganization or discharge of your debt.
