In many cases divorce and bankruptcy seem to go hand in hand. Whether one resulted in the other can only be determined on a case-by-case basis. Separately, these two issues are challenging. Together, without proper support, they can cause emotional devastation.

At the Law Office of Coggins and Johnston, we are experienced in handling both divorce and bankruptcy cases. We strive to help our clients understand their options in both situations. It is our goal to help you make sound decisions that support you and your family's future needs.

Determining the Best Time to File
Deciding to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy before or after a divorce is a difficult decision. Our firm's founding attorney, Brian Coggins, takes the time to understand your unique circumstances before advising you on the best time to file and whether you should file together or separately.
