Attorney Ed Dechant
has over 40 years experience advising clients with debt problems.
He has filed thousands of bankruptcies for individuals and small
businesses.
His low rates and willingness
to work out terms in paying his fee has resulted in an ever expanding
client base. In order to lessen the travel burden for clients from
outlying areas, Mr. Dechant has relied on phone, fax, and mail.
As more people have come to him for help he has turned to the Internet
to counsel those with financial difficulties.
