Firm Focus and History
The Bankruptcy Law Office of Richard A. Check, S.C. was established in 1998 and has been practicing exclusively Federal Bankruptcy law for both small businesses and individuals ever since.
I started the Bankruptcy Law Office of Richard A. Check, S.C. to fill the need in Southeastern Wisconsin for a quality law firm working exclusively in the area of Bankruptcy law. With the strong demand for superior service and quality legal work, we focus primarily on helping with personal and small business bankruptcies.
