Several months ago I became acquainted with Steve Rhode through Twitter. Steve is the founder of GetOutOfDebt.org.
Through his GetOutOfDebt.org site, Steve answers questions submitted by people who are having money troubles. Steve’s goal is to give people a free and anonymous place to get direct and honest advice about how to best cope with consumer debt problems.
Steve has a special insight into offering advice to people who are stressed out over mounting debt. Steve is like me in that we both can relate well to regular folks who are struggling just to keep their head above water financially. That’s because both Steve and I have been there. We’ve experienced the pain, the fear, the guilt, the shame and every other negative feeling that comes with unmanageable debt. And we both have personally filed bankruptcy and lived to fight another day.
In the following video, Steve and his wife Pam share their personal bankruptcy experience.
But before you watch the video, let me address a few experiences that Steve & Pam endured that should never have happened. And I can guarantee you that if you need to file bankruptcy, and you hire me to be your bankruptcy lawyer, you will never experience these things.
First, Steve & Pam’s bankruptcy lawyer apparently spent so little time with them early in their case, that she didn’t even recognize them at court. That will never happen if you are my client because m clients and I spend a lot of time in contact with one another, by phone, email and in-person.
Second, Steve & Pam’s bankruptcy lawyer apparently let their creditors take charge of the court hearing and berate Steve & Pam. That has not and never will happen to my clients. That behavior is totally inappropriate for a 341 meeting, and if the trustee doesn’t put an end to it immediately, I will.
Lastly, Steve & Pam’s bankruptcy lawyer apparently just cut and ran after the court hearing was over, leaving Steve & Pam to fend for themselves. After my clients’ court hearings, I take the time to sit with them and review what happened, answer any questions or concerns they may have, and advise them on exactly what will happen from then until their case is finished and closed.
If you’re struggling with debt problems and would like to know more about how bankruptcy may be able to help you, contact Dan Nunley today by completing the “Contact Dan” form on the right side of this page. I’ll get back in touch with you as soon as I can to schedule a FREE initial telephone consultation. I would count it a privilege to be able to visit with you in a relaxed and confidential environment where I’ll answer all of your questions in plain English and give you the straight scoop on the pros and cons of bankruptcy as related to your specific situation.

Nice to see our video on your site. You are absolutely right, it could have been handled differently and I sure wish you had been our bankruptcy attorney. Anyone that is smart enough to get you to represent them in Oklahoma for bankruptcy is damn lucky in my book.
Thanks for sharing the fact that you had gone bankrupt at one point in your life as well. It really makes a difference to help understand and walk in the shoes of people in trouble.
