Local experience in Lackawanna

Our Lackawanna County clients come from Scranton and the surrounding boroughs and townships. We handle the local creditors most common in Northeastern Pennsylvania — regional hospital systems, local credit unions, and judgment creditors with lawsuits in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas. Whether you commute to Harrisburg or work locally, we make the process simple.

How we file your case

Start with a free consultation by phone or video. We run the Pennsylvania means test, recommend Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, and quote a flat attorney fee. Once you engage us, we prepare the petition, you complete the one-hour online credit-counseling course, and we file electronically with the Middle District clerk. The automatic stay stops every Lackawanna County creditor the moment the case is filed.
