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



Since 1986, we have provided personalized care for people and small businesses filing for bankruptcy.

Emphasizing thoughtful counseling and careful planning, Marietta bankruptcy lawyers Howard Rothbloom and Adam Herring assist clients in a "boutique", low volume setting.  The firm, located 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 some of their debt.

We are bankruptcy court litigators experienced in resolving complex matters regarding United States Trustee motions to dismiss, objections to discharge and dischargeablility, mortgage balance disputes, income tax liabilities, and preferential and fraudulent transfers. Recent cases include a significant November 2010 opinion in In re Rudmose against the United States Trustee allowing Rothbloom clients to receive a chapter 7 dishcarge, and a September 2010 opinion in Tyree v. Guzman ordering turnover of personal property seized pre-bankruptcy by an aggressive judgment creditor.

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 advisors of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc.  Mr. Rothbloom is
named as a 2009 Georgia Legal Elite in Georgia Trend magazine and is  an AV® Preeminent ™ Peer Review Rated attorney in 2011 for the very highest ethical standards and legal ability based on the confidential opinions of other lawyers and judges by Martindale-Hubbell®, the most prestigious and widely respected lawyer rating system in the world for 119 years.

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 payments based upon 2005 changes to the Bankruptcy Code.n>
