Bankruptcy Attorney in Southfield, Michigan

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings for Oakland County, handled personally by Jesse Sweeney, board certified in consumer bankruptcy law. Our Southfield office is one of five across Michigan.

Filing for bankruptcy in Southfield

Southfield sits at the center of Oakland County, and the cases we see here reflect the county: homeowners behind on a mortgage after a job change, drivers facing repossession, and families carrying medical debt from one bad year. Many arrive with a wage garnishment already running.

Cases from this office are handled by Jesse Sweeney, who attends every hearing personally rather than passing cases to a clerk. The first call is free, the figures are published, and nothing is filed until you understand which chapter fits and what it will cost.
