I highly recommend Scott and Jason. They helped me file bankruptcy and they could not have made it any easier. They are very patient and thorough and they prepared me perfectly for the hearing.

I was facing a garnishment from the same company that I already paid a garnishment too. Scott got it taken care of in a professional and timely manner and even got me money back.

Scott and Jason were incredible. They were straight to the point, friendly, and helpful every step of the way. They did a wonderful job helping me prepare for both the filing of the case and the hearing following the filing. I've already recommended them to multiple friends that are in need of help, and I would recommend them to anyone who's unsure of what to do in a financially hard time

I spoke with Scott just a few minutes ago. I "was" new to looking into my options with my sole proprietorship. I say "was" because Mr. Needleman was efficient and extremely helpful, honest and upfront immediately. In this he answered all of my questions right away, and put my mind at ease, taking away the worry's of needing to look into things that are unpleasant and embarrassing. He laid out my options in a clear manner after a few questions. I can now make an informed decision. I said leaving this review was the least I could do and it is. I appreciate it very much and look forward to working with Mr. Needleman in the future. Thanks again to the nice lady that answered, and Scott calling me back. Robert

Personal And Small Business Bankruptcy Help in Central Ohio

Should You File For Bankruptcy in Ohio?

Many are faced with this question at least once in their personal life. You’re not alone. If you’re in Ohio trying to determine the benefits of filing for bankruptcy, learn the different types of bankruptcy and your options from an experienced Ohio bankruptcy lawyer.

Bankruptcy is a last resort to deal with your financial crisis. Once you file, you can re-establish your credit and in most cases, you will keep your car and house. For others, we may advise and assist you in taking another route.

What to Consider When Filing for Central Ohio Small Business Bankruptcy

Many Columbus small business owners believe that one type of bankruptcy is the same as the next, however, this is not the case. Similar to filing individually, you have options including Chapters 7, 11, and 13 (link to their respective pages). It is imperative to become familiar with the finer details of each type of small business bankruptcy. Over the years, Scott Needleman has helped many small businesses file for bankruptcy.

What to Expect From a Free Consultation With Needleman Bankruptcy Lawyers

Take your first step toward feeling better by meeting one-on-one with an attorney, not a paralegal, for 15 minutes on the phone with The Needleman Law Office. I aim to get answers fast without compromising the quality of advice. I’ll ask you a series of straightforward questions about your finances and avoid more unnecessary emotional distress at this difficult time. When we’re finished, you’ll receive an email outlining what we talked about. Your time spent connecting with me will always be transparent and easy to navigate. Next, we jump into our 1-2-3 process when you’re ready.

The Needleman Law Office 1-2-3 Process

  1. Initial analysis – After our first meeting, we will forward you a packet with a checklist, worksheet, and instructions for required credit counseling.
  2. Return paperwork – Send them to our office for review and case typing.
  3. File – Review your finished bankruptcy petition, sign, and file.

After your case is filed we attend a court hearing. The hearing is named a “341 Hearing”, or meeting of creditors. A bankruptcy trustee appointed by the government will hear your case. They determine if there are assets to recover. Most Chapter 7 cases are no asset cases.
