Types of Clients We Help at Starr & Starr, PLLC

We represent companies as well as individuals -- debtors as well as creditors. At Starr & Starr, PLLC we strive to provide excellent, economical legal services to large and mid-sized companies for matters that would be uneconomical if they used their regular "big law firm" outside counsel. We welcome referrals from other attorneys and are glad to work with them.
We represent small businesses and individuals. At Starr & Starr, PLLC every client is important to us and receives individual attention. We represent small businesses and individuals with debtor and creditor matters (including non-business consumer debtor matters) under all chapters of the Bankruptcy Code. We help companies of all sizes in commercial collections matters. We also represent businesses and individuals in commercial litigation matters. We have broad experience in a variety of industries.
We represent individuals with personal bankruptcies under all chapters of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., Chapters 7, 13 and 11). We believe each client and client matter is unique and deserves to be treated that way. We are not a "bankruptcy mill" and provide individualized service and attention to each of our clients. At our firm you meet with and your questions are answered by an attorney, not a paralegal. In addition, unlike firms that only represent debtors, we have experience representing trustees and creditors in bankruptcy and believe our knowledge of how trustees and creditors approach cases allows us to provide a better level of representation to our debtor clients than many of our competitors. As a result of the amendments to the Bankruptcy Code in 2005 it is critically important that anyone thinking of filing for personal bankruptcy make sure they hire an experienced and knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney.
