Comprehensive Debt Relief and Consumer Bankruptcy Services

As dedicated bankruptcy lawyers and debt relief lawyers, Justin Brackett and Brent Strunk provide dependable counsel across key practice areas designed to resolve debt and restore peace of mind:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Liquidation: Straightforward debt elimination for qualified consumers burdened by credit card balances, medical debts, and personal loans. The attorneys guide debtors through the federal means test to secure a comprehensive financial discharge while maximizing statutory property exemptions.
• Chapter 13 Debt Reorganization: Structured repayment plans spanning three to five years designed for wage earners facing home mortgage foreclosure, vehicle repossession, or tax liabilities. An active repayment plan invokes the federal automatic stay to halt collection actions immediately.
• Creditor Negotiation and Debt Settlement: Tailored representation for consumers who may not need to file for bankruptcy relief, assisting with private debt negotiations, structured settlements, and lump-sum settlements.
• Defense Against Creditor Harassment: Assertive protection under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, holding aggressive debt collectors accountable for unlawful phone calls, workplace harassment, and false credit reporting.
• Collection Lawsuit Defense: Representation from skilled contract lawyers defending consumers against civil warrants, court judgments, bank account levies, and wage garnishments in Tennessee state courts.

Strategic Legal Representation Grounded in Local Values

Attorney Justin Brackett, a graduate of the University of Tennessee and Chicago-Kent College of Law, pairs local roots with specialized training from Max Gardner's Bankruptcy Boot Camp. Attorney Brent Strunk, the son of an Appalachian coal miner, graduated from the University of Tennessee and Appalachian School of Law, dedicating his practice to protecting working-class families. Both attorneys are admitted before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee and belong to the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
