Bankruptcy Attorney in Brighton, Michigan

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

Filing for bankruptcy in Brighton

Our Brighton office serves Livingston County, from Howell and Hartland to Pinckney and Fowlerville. Clients here usually come to us after a job loss, a medical bill or a divorce has left them with debts they cannot keep up with. Many call once a wage garnishment or a foreclosure notice has already arrived.

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.
