Michigan consumer bankruptcy, since 2005

Sweeney Bankruptcy Lawyers has handled consumer bankruptcy, and only consumer bankruptcy, since Jesse Sweeney founded the firm in 2005. Today it is six attorneys and four legal support staff across five Michigan offices.

Built around one kind of case

Jesse Sweeney opened the firm in 2005 to represent people filing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. It has handled consumer bankruptcy only since the first day.

Jesse is board certified in consumer bankruptcy law by the American Board of Certification, licensed in Michigan and Colorado, and admitted in both the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, so the firm can file anywhere in the state.

The firm has grown to six attorneys and four legal support staff working from Southfield, Ann Arbor, Jackson, St. Clair Shores and Brighton.

Speed when a date will not wait

If you have a sheriff’s sale date or an active garnishment, we can prepare an emergency filing to stop it.
