James C.
Reed
Bankruptcy Lawyer Located near
Georgetown, Delaware
The law office of James C. Reed, P.A., in Rehoboth Beach, I offer over 20 years of experience to individuals and small businesses throughout lower Delaware. I dedicate almost my entire practice to bankruptcy matters, handling Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, and helping clients use bankruptcy to get a fresh start by discharging debts, to stop home foreclosure, avoid the repossession of their car, stop wage attachments, and get a fresh start. Whatever the reason you need assistance, my sole focus is on helping you to resolve your financial problems and to move forward.
will work directly with you. You will not be handed off to a secretary, paralegal, or associate, who does not have the experience to properly evaluate your case and provide the best solution. I am a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys
I keep up on bankruptcy law with continuing education and other updates, to keep abreast of the latest court rulings, interpretation of the law, and changes in the law. We are still determining the effects of the 2005 changes in the bankruptcy code, the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act (BACPA). As a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, I strive to keep informed about the latest developments.
I grew up in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; attended Georgetown University, in Washington, DC, where I received a Batchelor of Science degree in mathematics, with a minor in government; and studied law at Widener University School of Law, receiving a Juris Doctor degree, magna cum laude (with high honors). Thereafter, I was a judicial clerk for a judge at the U.S. Court of Claims, and then a judge at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Then I practiced law in D.C. for about two years before returning to Delaware in 1986 and practicing law here.
I enjoy practicing in the area of consumer bankruptcy law, getting people relief from their unmanageable debts, and giving them a fresh financial start.
