The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements, certification, specialization or self-proclaimed expertise. This disclosure is required by rule of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyers as specialist or expert in an indicated field of law practice nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer.
All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.

Iowa Bankruptcy

Individuals going through the debt relief process need an experienced bankruptcy attorney who can assist them to obtain a court-ordered discharge of their debts. It is always important to understand which of your debts are subject to discharge, and which debts are non-dischargeable. It is also important to understand how the bankruptcy process will effect your property rights. Many consumers who file for Chapter 7 relief will be allowed to keep their home, vehicles, and other personal property and still be granted a discharge of their unsecured debts. At Hansen Law Offices, we have assisted our clients for over twenty-five years in successfully providing debt relief through the bankruptcy code.

We are a designated debt relief agency. We help consumers seeking relief under the bankruptcy code.
