We Advocate for Debtors
In my thirty seven years as an Iowa lawyer, I’ve represented consumers and small businesses in bankruptcy, defended against debt collection and helped consumers assert their rights. We can help you too.
Many of our clients need to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy to get debt relief or to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop a foreclosure or cure a mortgage default but not all of them do.
Some clients instead need help defending against a National Collegiate Student Loan Trust (NCSLT) trying to collect private student loans. Some clients need to bring a consumer fraud lawsuit or need help with tax debt.Life has thrown you some curve balls. Don’t wait, take action now.
Most of us have too much debt not because of something we did wrong but because of all the curve balls we’re thrown in life.
Family illness, divorce, loss of employment or a cut in wages aren’t things we ask for. We can take action to get debt relief but many people wait to contact me until after their wages or bank accounts are being garnished. Or they wait until a sheriff’s sale has been scheduled in a foreclosure. Or they wait until their retirement accounts have been depleted, jeopardizing their future and that of their children. Some wait until they’ve spent thousands of dollars on scam debt settlement programs.Don’t wait. Start dealing with your debt problems now by contacting us.
Nancy L. Thompson Law Office, P.C. is located in the historic Saddlery Building on Court Avenue in downtown Des Moines. Garage and meter parking are available. We’re also accessible via the downtown Des Moines skywalk.
