Law Office of Thomas B Gorrill

Specialties

We handle bankruptcy — Chapter 7, Chaper 13, and individual Chapter 11 cases. We help people discharge their debts or reorganize their finances to save a home or business. With over 28 years of experience representing debtors and creditors in bankruptcy matters, Tom Gorrill is able to evaluate a client’s case from both sides.

We help people with homes in foreclosure or who are being sued. We can stop the foreclosure or lawsuit by filing a petition with the federal bankruptcy court. We also help small business owners who are trying to decide whether to save their company or cease operations.

We are a small firm — one attorney and two paralegal assistants and provide individual attention to each case. We do not take a «law clinic» approach to serving our clients so you are not just another number.

Our fees depend on the complexity of the case, and we give special consideration to the active-​duty and former military, first responders, teachers, and seniors
