Can I even afford a bankruptcy attorney?
Yes! We do everything in our power to make sure anyone can afford our help, because we don’t think you should have to go through bankruptcy alone. At Rank & Karnes Law, over years of experience we’ve created a payment plan that works for the vast majority of our clients. We charge only $500 upfront, making us one of the most affordable attorneys in Oregon.
