Think about it for a minute.  In one year over 30,000 local people can awaken to a new day.  They can answer the phone.  They can look forward to opening the mail.  If they choose overtime the money will go in the bank.  If not, they can just work one job.  They can actually save for a rainy day, and maybe for some sunny ones.  That is what a debt free life is about.  It is all right to work and actually get ahead.  Why not you?  How do you go about filing for bankruptcy?

Why Balena Law Firm Is the Bankruptcy Attorney for Hundreds of Your Friends and Neighbors

The simple fact is I am different from any other Elyria, Lorain, Lorain County, North Ridgeville, Westlake and Cleveland bankruptcy attorney.  I have set my practice up to enhance your experience.  If you have ever had a lawyer before you will see the difference immediately.  Here are some of the differences you will notice:

  • I start working for you as soon as you sign on the dotted line.  If you are getting collection agency calls, I will stop them.
  • Have kids?  I know that sometimes it is just impossible to find a sitter.  Although I prefer you not bring them to our consultation, I understand you may have no other choice.  I keep a box of toys in my waiting room to keep them occupied while we are meeting.
  • Many Cleveland bankruptcy attorneys file only  chapter 7 cases.  Why? Because they are easier.  William Balena does chapter 13 cases as well.  That way you can be sure your property has the best protection possible from bill collectors and from the chapter 7 bankruptcy trustees.
  • Speaking of chapter 7 trustees, when it comes time to file your chapter 7 case, Cleveland bankruptcy attorney William Balena can go online and find out which trustees are currently being assigned to cases.  No one else does this.  No one else knows how.  I took the time, and found the report site.  I learned to use it.  You benefit.  In a bankruptcy case this information can be worth everything.
  • I have done the footwork for you to find the most effective online credit counselors.  My attorney code gives you access.  If you do not have a good computer or reliable internet, you can do the classes in my office.  I have a computer for that purpose right off the waiting room.

Once you are comfortable with the decision to file for bankruptcy, you can set up a time for a consultation by calling 440-365-2000.  Select extension 701.  When you come in you are not yet my client and I am not yet your bankruptcy attorney.  You will interview me to see if I am right for you.  I will interview you to see if you are the right client for me.  I do not expect you to pay for the consultation in advance like other bankruptcy lawyers.  If we conclude that together we are a good fit as attorney and client, we will enter a written contract for bankruptcy services.    The nearly hour and a half bankruptcy consultation is factored into my base fee.

Every system at Balena law Firm is in place to add value to your experience.  Nancy is the legal assistant at Balena Law Firm.  She lives in Elyria, not far from the office.  She is part of the community.  Her computer skills are awesome.  Nancy is a master of the software we use to build your bankruptcy petition.  She is down to earth and easy to connect with.  She will work with you as your case takes shape.

Elyria Bankruptcy Attorney Bill BalenaI have had an office in Elyria since 1983.  I am not one of those guys on TV who put an office in Lorain County, is only open one day a week, and sends some flunky to interview you because they know times here are bad, you have cash, and they want it.

I have been a chapter 7, and chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney in Lorain County since 1997.  I am the only local bankruptcy attorney to routinely offer the option of an online interview.

When it comes time to go to your meeting of creditors, I will be there for you.   Unlike other firms I don’t send a lawyer with no experience who does not know you, just to fumble with papers.  If the judge requires a hearing for some reason, I will be representing you in court.  You are hiring me.  You get me.

If you are interested in meeting with an experienced Elyria, Lorain, Lorain County, North Ridgeville, Westlake and Cleveland bankruptcy attorney  who will answer your questions, then I am your choice.  I can bring you peace of mind, and stop all the noise.  Don’t want to come to my office in Elyria?  No problem.  I am happy to meet with you out of the office at time and place that is mutually convenient.  Call me.
