There are many firms offering similar services. Why should I select Frank, White -Boyd?

Please refer to our section entitled "Finding the Right Attorney".

What happens at the initial consultation?

We will explore your circumstances with you. Typically, before we are in a position to answer your questions, we have to spend time with you to get answers to the facts that we believe will be relevant to solving your problems. There are many ways to resolve financial distress; we will explain all of your options and answer all of your questions. We understand the emotions and the levels of anxiety that you are experiencing. You will always be treated with respect.

How much does it cost?

Until we know what "it" is, it is impossible to quote fees. As a matter of fact, if your circumstances involve a bankruptcy filing, it is a violation of federal law to quote fees over the telephone or on the Internet. We realize that many firms do it. Do you really want to employ a law firm that, in an effort to gain clients, is willing to break the very laws they are supposed to be helping you with?
Every business and person has circumstances that are uniquely their own. We will work with you to decipher those circumstances and to offer you the most cost-effective and economically prudent solutions to your issues. At every stage of the game, we will give you a clear picture of the legal fees you might expect.

If I am looking at bankruptcy, how am I supposed to afford it?

If we did not have answers to that question, we would not be in business for very long. In the course of your initial consultation, we will show you time-tested methods that will put you in a position to afford legal representation. Often, this involves a custom designed cash flow program that enables you to create your legal "war chest".

My problem involves an emergency or a time sensitive matter. Will I get an appointment promptly?

Our staff is trained to ask the essential questions to determine if your matter involves the type of time sensitive crises that require immediate attention. If so, we will work to accommodate you and your schedule immediately.

I don't want to file bankruptcy. Are there other solutions to my debt problems?

At Frank, White-Boyd, we consider bankruptcy to be the method of last resort. There are often several options available to resolve debt problems. For example, in some circumstances it may be practical to employ debt management techniques. We have developed a proprietary program that has assisted many clients in resolving their debt problems, who otherwise were unable or unwilling to utilize the bankruptcy process.
