 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Shane is about as down to earth and straight forward as you can get. He doesn’t BS you and tells you exactly what is expected of you and lays out your tasks for your specific situation. Never had an issue with communication. His team is awesome and I highly recommend using his services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Shane helped me through my Chapter 7 bankruptcy and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He made a stressful situation feel manageable and kept things clear every step of the way. I had a few moments of confusion along the process, and he was always patient and took the time to explain things until it clicked. I’m really grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Through the years, I have hired various attorneys for several purposes. .  I recently needed the help of an attorney to help with collecting money owed to me.  Shane had been recommended so I contacted him.  I have never been so pleased as  I was with Shane's help!!  He listens empathetically in a kind and compassionate manner and understood my situations  immediately and solved both  for me in a very kind and professional manner.  If you need Shane for any help, even if it's not bankruptcy - there's not a better attorney you can have on your side. Shane gets an A+ from me!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Shane Zisman was great to work with on guiding me through my bankruptcy. Never once felt that bankruptcy was the end of my financial life but that it can be a fresh start, which my family and I needed to continuing growing and moving forward financially. I would recommend Shane to anyone who is or even just considering filing for bankruptcy.

He answered all our questions and working with him was pleasant. We never felt rushed or like we were "just a number" and he helped us to feel comfortable with our choices and confident in our decision to file. Would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Happens In A Free Consultation?

We will ask a few questions about your situation and goals, then explain what options may fit. You will have time to ask questions, and fees are discussed before you decide.

Do I Have To Come To The Office?

Usually not. Most clients meet by phone or video. If an in-person meeting is helpful, we can discuss options.

What Should I Have Ready For The First Call?

If you have recent pay stubs, a list of debts, and any court papers or collection notices, that is helpful. If you do not have everything, you can still call and we will tell you what to gather next.

Can You Meet In Person?

Yes. In-person meetings are available by appointment only.

Can Bankruptcy Stop Collection Calls, Lawsuits, Or Wage Garnishments?

In most cases, filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that stops collection actions. There are exceptions, and the details depend on your situation, so we will walk through what applies to you.

Do You Only Handle Bankruptcy?

No. Depending on your situation, we may also discuss non-bankruptcy options for dealing with debt.

Does Contacting The Firm Make Me A Client?

No. Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you choose to move forward, you will receive a written engagement agreement.

How Can I Leave A Review?

If you are a current or former client and would like to share feedback, you can leave a review on Google. Thank you for taking the time to help others who are researching their options.

Let's Talk Through Your Options

If bills are piling up and collection calls will not stop, you do not have to figure it out alone. A short conversation can help you understand your options under Iowa and federal law.
