Why Robert
Many law firms create distance between clients and attorneys. This approach is built on clear communication, honest guidance, and support during difficult financial moments.

No gatekeepers. Robert answers his own cellphone — and texts back fast.

Evenings, weekends, or at a quiet coffee shop in Ypsilanti or Ann Arbor.

Bankruptcy is complicated. The way Robert explains it shouldn't be.

Sometimes the right answer is not to file. He'll tell you when that's true.
Common myths
Myth
"I'll lose everything I own."
Reality
Almost no one does. Michigan's exemption laws are designed to protect homes, cars, retirement, and household belongings.
Myth
"My credit will be ruined for ten years."
Reality
Most clients qualify for new credit cards and even car loans within a year, and many buy a home within 2–4 years of discharge.
Myth
"Everyone will know I filed."
Reality
Bankruptcies are public record but rarely come up unless someone goes searching. It will not appear in your local newspaper.
Myth
"Bankruptcy means I failed."
Reality
Most filings happen because of medical bills, job loss, divorce, or business failure — circumstances no one fully controls.
Myth
"My employer will fire me."
Reality
Federal law specifically prohibits employers from firing or discriminating against you because you filed.
Myth
"I make too much money to file."
Reality
There is a means test, but it's much more flexible than people think. Many higher-income filers qualify for Chapter 7 or 13.
