  • Germantown, TN – minutes from our Poplar Ave location

Why Local Clients Choose Arthur Ray Law Offices

  • Over 50 years of bankruptcy experience in Memphis – Arthur Ray Law Offices has served bankruptcy clients throughout Shelby County and the Western District of Tennessee for decades.
  • Free bankruptcy petition preparation – we prepare the complete petition at no charge so you can review your options before deciding whether to file.
  • No charge if you decide not to file – there is no financial pressure to move forward if bankruptcy is not the right answer for your situation.
  • $0 attorney fee up front for most Chapter 13 cases – in most Chapter 13 filings, attorney fees are built into the repayment plan rather than paid up front.

If you are comparing local offices, it also matters that this firm regularly works in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Tennessee and understands the local filing process, trustees, and court expectations.

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Help Near Memphis

Some clients need a fast discharge of credit cards, medical bills, and unsecured debt through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Others need time to catch up on a house payment, stop foreclosure, recover a repossessed car, or deal with wage garnishment through Chapter 13 bankruptcy. During your consultation, we will explain the difference clearly and help you understand which path fits your finances.

We also help local clients dealing with wage garnishment, car repossession, medical bills, and credit card debt. Local representation matters when timing is critical and you need advice that fits Tennessee bankruptcy practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best bankruptcy attorney near me?

Look for a lawyer who focuses specifically on bankruptcy law in your state, is familiar with the local bankruptcy court, and explains the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 in a clear way before asking you to commit. In Memphis, that means understanding practice in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Tennessee.

Do you serve clients facing wage garnishment in Collierville or Germantown?

Yes. Filing for bankruptcy can stop wage garnishment through the automatic stay, and we regularly help clients throughout Collierville, Germantown, and the rest of Shelby County who need quick action.

What’s the difference between a bankruptcy lawyer near me and one out of state?

A local Memphis bankruptcy attorney knows the Western District of Tennessee’s procedures, local trustees, and filing practices. A nearby office also makes consultations, document review, and any needed in-person meetings more practical.

Can I file for bankruptcy if I live in Southaven, MS but work in Memphis?

Where you file usually depends on where you live, not where you work. If you live in Southaven, your case may need to be filed in Mississippi rather than Tennessee, so the first step is to call and confirm which court has jurisdiction over your situation.

How much does it cost to hire a bankruptcy attorney near me?

The answer depends on the type of case. Consultations are free, and we prepare the bankruptcy petition at no charge so you can review your options first. For most Chapter 13 cases, there is $0 attorney fee up front because the fees are built into the repayment plan. Chapter 7 fees vary depending on the facts of the case and will be explained clearly during the consultation.

How soon can I meet with a bankruptcy lawyer near me?

If you contact the office through the consultation form, the team will typically follow up within 24 hours to schedule your free consultation. If your situation is urgent, such as an active wage garnishment or recent repossession, calling (901) 475-8200 is the fastest way to get help.
