In business since 1967, partners Donald M. Miller and John H. Hornbrook provide hands-on legal advocacy tailored to each client's unique financial circumstances.

Stopping Creditor Harassment, Garnishments, and Foreclosures

When bills pile up due to unexpected job displacement, medical emergencies, or family crises, creditors often become aggressive. Filing for consumer bankruptcy triggers an immediate federal automatic stay, commanding all collection efforts to cease instantly. As skilled bankruptcy lawyers and debt relief lawyers, the attorneys at Miller and Hornbrook intervene to stop damaging creditor actions:

• Halting continuous telephone harassment and abusive collection notices under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
• Stopping pending mortgage foreclosures and sheriff auctions to help families retain their residences.
• Freezing payroll wage garnishments and protecting personal bank funds from creditor levies.
• Preventing vehicle repossessions and negotiating manageable terms to keep reliable daily transportation.
• Resolving creditor lawsuits and securing permanent legal relief from old court judgments.

Tailored Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Debt Solutions

Understanding which bankruptcy chapter matches your needs requires meticulous evaluation. The firm assists clients in gathering necessary documentation to take the Ohio bankruptcy means test, which evaluates household income and expenses to determine Chapter 7 eligibility. In a Chapter 7 liquidation, eligible unsecured obligations-such as medical bills, credit cards, and personal loans-are eliminated entirely, giving debtors a true fresh start. For those who do not qualify for Chapter 7 or who wish to catch up on delinquent mortgage payments and retain valuable property, Chapter 13 bankruptcy establishes a court-approved repayment schedule over three to five years, consolidating debts into a single budget-friendly monthly payment.

Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation Representation

Beyond consumer debt relief and financial and IP lawyers services, Miller and Hornbrook stands by community members harmed in unexpected accidents. Serving as dedicated accident and injury lawyers, the firm helps individuals injured in motor vehicle collisions and slip-and-fall incidents recover rightful compensation for medical costs, lost income, and emotional distress. Additionally, their workers' compensation lawyers guide injured employees through the complexities of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, ensuring valid claims are recognized and benefits paid promptly.
