We represent creditors and debtors in straight bankruptcies (Chapter 7) and Wage Earner bankruptcies (Chapter 13). We counsel creditors and debtors alike on non-bankruptcy options, where appropriate, to avoid a filing if at all possible.

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

Our firm has assisted families for nearly 25 years.  What we have learned is that the MOST IMPORTANT STEP is to "go to the doctor" and assess your situation.  Sometimes there are other remedies that can help you avoid bankruptcy, but you need to find out.  The best way to do that is to meet with an attorney and staff knowledgeable in this area.  We will meet with you initially as a courtesy (without charge) for a confidential assessment.

Please call (336) 725-2900 if you wish to set up a confidential, courtesy appointment.  Please feel free to call our bankrupty department and leave a confidential voicemail message for paralegal Vicki Craver at (336) 714-2568, or legal assistant Glenda Allred at (336) 714-2594; or you can send a confidential e-mail to Vicki at vickic@wellsjenkins.com or Glenda at glendaa@wellsjenkins.com.  If you do not talk to them initially, they can follow up with you via e-mail or telephone at a time convenient for you.

Here are a couple of other ways to learn more about your options.  From our home page you can go to "Legal Articles in the Winston-Salem Journal by Mike Wells" and check out past articles Mike has written about this and other issues.  (Click here to see the September 7, 2008 article.)  We also offer free legal seminars through the Forsyth County Library System.  A list of upcoming seminars is listed at the bottom of our home page.  These seminars are informative (and free).  For a free review of what options you should consider, click free review.
