Jeff Biddle Law

I don’t know if I’m the cheapest but I’d worry about hidden charges from lawyers that are cheaper than me. I honestly don’t know how a lawyer can charge $50 for a bankruptcy when the filing fee is over $300!!!

We meet and, if you like me, pay me and we’re off to the races. If you need your case filed today, usually that’s not a problem.

I went to law school at Emory University, a top-tier law school located in Atlanta, GA. After graduating, I started working at a local law firm as a divorce/family law attorney and had a very high caseload. While it gave me great experience, it was hard to give focused attention to any one client. That is why I started my own practice. I get to know my clients and I’m available when they need me and I can devote the attention they need to get the best results for them.

I like to help people. Initially I started in family law because my “father” abandoned me and my brother when I was three and I wanted to hold parents’ feet to the fire on behalf of the kids and ensure that kids got to have two parents. Bankruptcy is a lot more fun. A few years into my career, I saw another opportunity to help people get rid of cancerous debt and, since my own divorce, I really started focusing on this area. I love helping people, meeting all kinds of people, and helping them make their lives better. Also, bankruptcy is a lot like divorce in that your breaking up with the creditors and leaving them with all the debt and, hopefully, keeping all of the assets. :)

I’ve worked with all types of people. I also typically wear shorts and a polo unless we are going to court. I’m just a regular guy with a different education than my clients. No need to dress up to meet me. :)

BANKRUPTCY- I love all of my bankruptcy cases. I’m a huge fan of making a bankruptcy as financially beneficial for my clients/friends as possible. I love cramming down car loans, getting my clients better interest rates on their cars and stripping mortgages from houses. And don’t even get me started on the IRS. Bankruptcy might sound boring but stripping and cramming certainly don’t. FAMILY- I had a divorce case recently with a guy that was transitioning from male to female. The mother tried to persuade the court that he was mentally ill and should have limited time with the child, who was 2. Of course, when you’re transitioning, you’re required to regularly see mental health professionals and the crazy claims were thrown straight out of the window and my client now has equal parenting time. It took 8-10 months for the divorce to be finalized but we got what was best for my client and the child. I don’t judge my clients but I will tell you if you’re messing up. He listened to me and made changes to what he was doing in order to maximize his outcome.

Talk to the attorney and see if you are a good fit. Can you tell them all of your messy stuff without being judged? Also, how many other clients do they have? If the number is higher than 15-20, are they really going to remember who you are from day to day? How many people do you have to talk to before you can talk to your attorney? With me, you get my personal cell number and can call or text me anytime. Seriously...any time!

In my experience, there really are two types of attorneys. One type will work FOR you. You tell them what you want and they “aggressively” work to get that. They don’t want to piss you off and don’t want to get fired so they won’t tell you if you’re being unreasonable. If this is what you’re looking for, we aren’t going to be a good fit. The other type of attorney works WITH you to get what you want. This is ME. I’ll tell you straight up if what you’re trying to achieve is likely to happen or if you’re being unreasonable. Sometimes, in order to get what you want, you need to change what you’re doing. You want equal parenting time but the other parent lives on the other side of the Valley? You have to move because the court isn’t going to order equal time where it’s not feasible. Or maybe you’re acting a fool at custody exchanges...I’ll tell you to quit that and suggest ways to do so. I am divorced and it was not amicable and this isn’t my first rodeo. When you talk to an attorney, figure out if they’re going to be working with you and advising or working for you and doing what you want? It’s kind of like taking your car to a mechanic to fix the brakes. One guy will fix the brakes. The other will fix them but tell you to stop driving with the emergency brake on so you don’t have to come back in a few months to get them fixed again.
