Find Solutions to Financial Distress.

Forman Holt assists all types of clients in financial distress.  Our attorneys understand that it is often an event such as a business failure, losing a job, falling ill or getting a divorce that drives otherwise financially responsible individuals to seek bankruptcy relief.

After consultation with our firm –“there’s a huge sense of relief” for many individuals.  Many of our clients are surprised to learn that they have options outside of bankruptcy to resolve their financial difficulties.

We are a debt relief agency.
We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

Our firm has helped hundreds of individuals and businesses facing financial distress. Our attorneys are available to answer the many questions and concerns clients may have about bankruptcy and any other alternatives available to  resolve their financial difficulties, and whether a bankruptcy filing is the correct course of action.

I am proud of our unique offering to work with our clients to look at all alternative courses of action before deciding to proceed with a bankruptcy filing. Financially distressed businesses often aren’t aware of all their options besides a Chapter 11 filing. – Charles M. Forman, Managing Member, Forman Holt
