Bankruptcy Attorney in Portland, Christopher Kane, specializes in bankruptcy law and is committed to helping you make it through the Oregon bankruptcy process quickly, and easily, with the dignity you deserve.
Portland Bankruptcy Attorneys found creditors and the collection agencies want you to believe that filing bankruptcy under state and federal law is an excuse for poor choices and avoiding responsibilities. This is simply not the case.
“Thank you so much for all your help Chris. I was rather intimidated (and embarrassed as I’m sure many people are) with the whole situation but you made me feel at ease without making me feel ashamed. I had heard stories from a coworker who went through bankruptcy and apparently didn’t have as pleasant an experience with his attorney. If for any reason I know of someone who needs your help I’ll send them your way.” Lynn P. Portland
