I always exceed the required number of continuing education hours in addition to many hours of staying current on all matters that affect debtor and creditor rights.

One of my most rewarding cases involved a middle-aged lady of limited income who had spent all her money on her children's problems. We filed her case in one day and saved her home from foreclosure sale. Also, I am pleased to see the clients who file their bankruptcy and fix their debt issues and come back to us later for purchasing real estate or refinancing their home.

I have been involved in debtor/creditor issues since even before law school. Since then I have practiced law for over 27 years in the Charleston Lowcountry in many areas of law in addition to bankruptcy. This gives me a wide area of experience to understand the implications of the various legal problems that clients may have as their problems are not always just debt. We focus on personal attorney attention to your problems and our most rewarding cases are when clients tell us how happy they are and are so relieved now that they have stress relief. We love to have our success stories that lick their debt and reorganize their financial life and have a much improved future.

Steadman Law Firm, PA was formed in 1992 to provide a more focused practice on bankruptcy and debt relief, real estate, and related legal services for the Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester County areas. We also serve other counties including Colleton, Williamsburg, Horry and others.

I have previously practiced law as part of larger firms, as branch office of a larger law firm and as in-house counsel to a major credit union. This has given me a wide area of experience to understand the debt process from both sides of the fence in addition to other legal problems a client may be having. For example, prior experience in Family Court gives me a good understanding of what clients are going through in a divorce or separation and the legal issues that may be involved.

I have participated and continue to handle pro bono cases referred by the South Carolina Bar and the bankruptcy court. I also am an adjunct instructor at Trident Technical College and serve on their Paralegal Review Board.
