If you have ever felt stuck between mounting debt and confusing legal options, Jay’s story may feel familiar. His bankruptcy case came with challenges from the very beginning because of the type of business he owned. He had already hired two different lawyers, and neither could move his case forward. By the time he called The Colpitts Law Firm, he needed more than forms and filings. He needed clarity, honesty, and a path he could trust.
Jay later shared this about his experience with our firm:
“I wanted to leave a review for The Colpitts Law Firm. From the beginning, my bankruptcy case was not going to be easy due to the type of business I was in. I had already tried two different lawyers, and neither of them could get the job done.
Greggory Colpitts was extremely kind and took great care of me from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring, and he truly made me feel confident that everything was going to work out.
Carolynn, his legal assistant, was also amazing. She was always helpful, responsive, and patient every single time I called or emailed her.
If you want the job done right and want to work with people who genuinely care, I highly recommend The Colpitts Law Firm."

Turning a Hard Question into an Informed Choice
From the first meeting, Jay faced a tough threshold issue: could he even legally file for bankruptcy at all? Bankruptcy law comes from a complex set of rules. Some cases follow a clear path. Others, like Jay’s, raise difficult questions and potential traps.
Bankruptcy is a complex set of laws and rules, and the application of these laws and rules to a given case can be straightforward while others are complex. There is no such thing as a simple bankruptcy case, as each case has the potential for a hidden issue.
The United States Bankruptcy Code gives each of us the right to shed debt and start over; however, there is a cost for this right. The cost, or the trade-off, is that a debtor in bankruptcy must give up their non-exempt property. Our goal is to educate our clients on what those trade-offs are in order to allow them to make an informed decision on whether to file bankruptcy.
In Jay’s consultation, Gregg gathered the facts, walked through the legal issues, and explained why Jay could file and what challenges might arise. With this information, Jay could decide how to move forward, knowing the possible trade-offs.
Compassion, Communication, & Steady Support
Throughout Jay’s case, Gregg focused on steady guidance, while Carolynn, his legal assistant, stayed in close contact. Jay mentions her patience, quick responses, and willingness to answer questions each time he called or emailed. That kind of day-to-day support often makes the difference between feeling lost and feeling heard.
Stories like Jay’s reflect what The Colpitts Law Firm works for every day: thoughtful legal guidance, clear explanations, and a team that treats each person with respect.
