Yes, if you mention that you found us on Nolo.com, we will meet with you in person for one-half hour to review your financial situation. Please understand that some cases are more complex and require more time to meet (such as business cases or consumer cases of individuals with income above the Kentucky Median Family Income by Family Size published by the U.S. Census Bureau); in those instances, we will tell you in advance that a small consultation fee is required.
For Chapter 7 cases, we have flat fee rates. The amount of the fee depends upon the complexity of the case. Chapter 13 cases are different because the bankruptcy court must approve the attorneys' fees and expenses after confirmation of the Chapter 13 plan; in those cases, our law firm requires an initial payment (a "retainer") plus the court's filing fee, and the balance of the attorneys' fees are paid through the Trustee's Office.
Our typical rates are $200 to $450 per hour, but the rates are negotiable in some instances depending upon the circumstances of a given case.

Yes, in the appropriate case and where in our professional opinion it would be in the best interest of the client to do so.
We strive in every case to staff the particular matter with the right person in our law firm. If work can be done effectively by an individual with a lower billing rate, we try to have that individual perform the work. We are always mindful of being cost-effective for our clients. Our law firm is a "result-oriented" group of people.
We use them in any case where it is appropriate, cost effective, and the client wants to use the process of mediation or arbitration.
Yes, through the Fayette County Pro Bono Office.
We are a small AV-Rated law firm with tremendous experience in our area of expertise. Since we practice all types of bankruptcy law, we are able to bring a unique perspective to problems that our clients may have because we can see both sides of the issue; this perspective and experience is very important when choosing an attorney.
It is important for clients to educate themselves about debtor/creditor and bankruptcy law, but it is not a substitute for seeking actual legal advice from a professional with substantial experience.
We are willing to do so under the right set of facts and circumstances. It is important to understand that non-professionally prepared documents may be inadequate for the intended purpose. If you have your own paperwork with sufficient detail as to the significant terms, then we may be able to incorporate those terms into a professional legal document for you to complete the deal.
We cannot coach a corporate client to represent itself. We cannot assist a person to practice law without a license.
