How We Help

Upward Law handles consumer and small-business bankruptcy across the entire Northern District of Ohio, from a straightforward Chapter 7 to a small-business reorganization under Subchapter V. Every case is handled directly by attorney Jason Grimes, with the same goal each time: clear the debt that’s holding you back and open the door to what comes next. Not sure which fits your situation? A free call will tell you exactly where you stand.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

The classic fresh start. Wipe out qualifying consumer debt and move forward, often in a matter of months.

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

A structured repayment plan that lets you keep what matters, like your home and your car, while you catch up on what you owe.

Subchapter V

Subchapter V (Small Business Reorganization)

A streamlined form of Chapter 11 built specifically for small businesses. If you’re a small-business owner trying to reorganize debt and keep the doors open, Subchapter V is often faster, simpler, and less expensive than a traditional reorganization.
