Bankruptcy Attorney Lee Ringler Is Helping Clients In South Carolina And Georgia

Augusta, Georgia -

Bankruptcy attorney Lee Ringler is making a case for why he is the best attorney for clients looking to file bankruptcy in South Carolina and Georgia.

Bankruptcy is a federal law, administered by the United States Bankruptcy Courts which are technically a part of the United States District Courts. It is a tool that debtors have to discharge their debts if they get too overwhelmed. A bankruptcy case starts with the filing of a written petition with the Bankruptcy court. Petitions can be filed under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 7, often called the liquidation case, involves turning over any non-exempt assets to a trustee, who sells them, and then pays the creditors. Chapter 13, on the other hand, requires a repayment plan, in which the debtor makes payments at least once a month to a trustee, for three to five years. Bankruptcy law is complex and ever-changing, a unique quality that requires bankruptcy lawyers to be on top of their chosen legal area of expertise constantly.

Lee Ringler explains why his law office is the best choice for anyone considering going through bankruptcy proceedings by saying, “You will find a lot of law offices out there that dabble in multiple legal domains. They will have a personal injury lawyer on their payroll as well as someone who handles defamation cases exclusively. The Lee Ringler Law Offices, however, do it differently. We don’t spread ourselves too thin. We are focused on just one narrow area of the law and, consequently, we have mastered it. All we do is bankruptcy law. We are not helping clients sue someone for medical bills or helping couples through a divorce. All of our efforts are focused solely on ensuring that you are freed from the insidious clutches of long-term debt. This is more than just a career for us. We are passionate about helping all our clients get a fresh start in life with renewed enthusiasm and a new perspective on financial literacy. You can trust us to guide you through these troubled times in your life so that you come out stronger at the other end. So if you are a resident of South Carolina or Georgia and find yourselves at a financial crossroads, give our law offices a call. We will put our full legal expertise in bankruptcy law to work on your behalf.”

Another salient quality that separates Lee Ringler from most other bankruptcy attorneys is that he never represents commercial interests adverse to consumers. This means that Lee Ringler does not represent banks or finance companies or furniture stores or any other commercial entity that profits by entrapping consumers in a vicious cycle of debt.

Lee Ringler’s long and illustrious career as a bankruptcy lawyer was kickstarted by his solid academic credentials from some of the best universities in the country. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1965 and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1968. He also spent one semester at the New York University School of Law. During his time in law school, he published two notes in the University of Pittsburgh Law Review. He is also certified in Consumer Bankruptcy Law by the American Bankruptcy Board of Certification, a national organization with rigorous requirements for certification. Lee Ringler has also been a long-standing member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) since his membership in 2005, the only organization devoted to training attorneys who represent debtors. He also has two full-time paralegals on his staff who have been with him for more than ten years. Both are certified by the Association of Bankruptcy Judicial Assistants and have been members for ten years.
