Our Services

Bankruptcy is a reset - a true fresh start!

Bankruptcy is the first step to you rebuilding your credit so you can buy that car or own a home in the years ahead.

That’s why we include a credit rebuilding program at no charge after we’ve filed your case and gotten you debt relief. This program gives you an easy step-by-step process to quickly restoring your Credit.

It reports on-time payments to all three major credit bureaus. This program also offers support with identity theft disputes and includes legal protections if your consumer rights are ever violated. The end result? You can raise your Credit score to 720+ in 12-24 months.

We help you get out of debt, stay out of debt, and take control of your financial future. What’s not to love about that?

  • Also known as “Liquidation” bankruptcy, Ch. 7 is by far the most common type of bankruptcy filed by debtors. It can eliminate most unsecured debts such as credit cards, payday loans, and medical bills.

  • Chapter 13 is the best remedy for individuals who wish to reorganize and pay on some key debts, such as mortgages or car loans, over a period of 3-5 years. Ch. 13 is for debtors who have enough left each month to pay back at least a portion of their debts.

  • If you have Federal Student Loans in which it poses an “undue hardship” for you to repay, and this is likely to persist in the future, and you have made a good-faith effort to pay them in the past, there’s a decent chance we can help you in this area!

  • Upward Law represents consumers who have had their rights violated under the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), the TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act), or the OCSPA (Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act).
