MARIETTA AND ATLANTA, GEORGIA BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEYS
FOR CONSUMER AND BUSINESS CLIENTS

Since 1986, we have provided personalized care for consumer and business bankruptcy clients.

Emphasizing thoughtful counseling and careful planning, Marietta bankruptcy lawyers Howard Rothbloom and Adam Herring work for clients as a team in a "boutique", low volume setting.  The firm, located just off the Marietta Square, handles challenging cases, particularly for people who want to retain assets and who are struggling to pass the Means Test in order to qualify for a Chapter 7 "straight bankruptcy", or to arrange affordable plans under Chapter 13 to repay a portion of their debt.

We are bankruptcy court litigators experienced in resolving complex matters regarding objections to discharge and dischargeablility, mortgage balance disputes, income tax liabilities, and preferential and fraudulent transfers.

Howard Rothbloom has worked to expose lender abuses and has advocated for consumer rights reform from the Georgia Capitol to the United States Capitol.  He has pioneered and won multi-million dollar mortgage lending abuse cases on behalf of thousands of Georgia consumers against some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful financial institutions.  Mr. Rothbloom is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and is on the board of directors of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc.  Mr. Rothbloom is an AV® Preeminent ™ Peer Review Rated attorney in 2010 for Ethical Standards and Legal Ability by Martindale-Hubbell® and is named as a 2009 Georgia Legal Elite in Georgia Trend magazine.

Adam Herring has authored and published scholarly articles on Means Testing, the foundation of today's consumer bankruptcy practice.  "Operator Error in 'Mechanical' Means Testing: Judicial Behavior in Chapter 13 Cases", coauthored by Mr. Herring, was published by Norton Bankruptcy Law Adviser in December 2009 and  reprinted in the February 2010 edition of The Nebraska Lawyer, the official publication of the Nebraska State Bar Association. The article explores the methods for determining chapter 13 plan payments based upon 2005 changes to the Bankruptcy Code.
