The information on this webpage does not constitute legal advice. To get legal advice in your situation it is important that you hire counsel. Please note that we can only handle your case once a written retainer agreement is signed. Contacting us via this website does not retain counsel.

Pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act of 2005, we are required to advise our potential bankruptcy clients that we are an attorneys office and that we have been designated by the United States Congress and the United States Supreme Court as a debt relief agency. We help people file cases under the bankruptcy code.

Mr. Ashman is licensed by the State Bar of Georgia and admitted to practice before the 11th Circuit US Court of Appeals, Georgia Supreme Court, Georgia Court of Appeals, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Georgia, and all Georgia trial courts. Certain cases handled by Mr. Ashman may also be handled in part by other attorneys.

BANKRUPTCY AND DEBT RELIEF Fees for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, which can eliminate most debts and give you a fresh start, are fairly inexpensive. Average legal fees are usually about $950 (add about $250 for couples). Court costs are $306. To start a case, stop by our office and get a FREE worksheet, or CLICK HERE to get the worksheet FREE online. Please call for more details on our fees. Our office also can handle Chapter 13 Bankruptcy cases, in which you repay debts over time. Initially you need the same free worksheet. A Chapter 13 can prevent foreclosures, and stop collection efforts. The down payment on some Chapter 13's is as low as $281 to file your case. Congress has designated us a Federal Debt Relief Agency. To learn more about bankruptcy, please call or email us, and also look at this State Bar bankruptcy pamphlet. If you are already in a Chapter 13 you can track your case online at https://www.13datacenter.com/index.asp.

Call for a free evaluation of your case. This State Bar pamphlet on auto accidents contains useful information and a form that is useful: State Bar pamphlet on auto accidents.

ADOPTIONS Our office is experienced in adoptions. Legal fees in uncontested step-parent and DFCS adoptions can be as low as $999 to $1500. Adoptions involve detailed complex paperwork, so be sure you hire someone who regularly handles adoptions. Our office has extensive adoption experience.

NAME CHANGE We do name changes for children and adults. Fees vary by county, with legal fees starting at $299 (higher in some counties). In some cases, birth certificates can also be corrected inexpensively.

WILLS About 8 out of 10 Americans have no will. Not only does this increase probate costs, and ofttimes leaves your estate to those you did not intend to be heirs, but it also means you lose your chance to name a guardian for your children. Start on your will by getting our free worksheet. Fees for a will start at $200 (and our office does a living will at no charge for our will clients - details below). Be sure to also ask us about a Living Will/Health Care Directive and/or Health Care Power of Attorney to avoid a Terri Schiavo-like situation. To learn more about wills, please call or email us, and also look at this State Bar pamphlet.

POWER OF ATTORNEY Very few people are prepared for the times when they are unable to handle their affairs. Ask us about a power of attorney that can help in these situations.

OTHER MATTERS Our office can assist you with many other legal matters. Please ask.

Thinking of filing a court case without a lawyer?

Be aware that court clerks and judges can't give you legal advice. For example, they cannot:

Explain the meaning of a particular statutory provision or rule

Give an interpretation of case law

Explain the result of taking or not taking action in a case

Help you complete forms, or advise you regarding what is legally required when a form elicits information from you

Tell you whether jurisdiction is proper in a case

Tell you whether a complaint properly presents a claim

Provide advice on the best procedure to accomplish a particular goal

Apply a rule or statute

Explain who should receive proper notice or service

Tell you what you left out or presented improperly

The judge in a case cannot give you legal advice or assist you in the case. The judge’s job is to supervise and administer the entire case and to resolve disputes between the parties, and the judge must remain impartial (not lean in favor of one side). You cannot engage in so-called ex parte communications with the judge (meaning only you communicating with the judge). You are on your own.

Many forms that you find online or get from courts and stores will be inadequate or incomplete, or less than optimal. When you prepare legal documents improperly, you may end up with no result or an unsatisfactory one, or you may spend more on legal fees to fix a mistake than you would have spent on the matter to begin with (if the matter even can be fixed). You will save money by hiring a lawyer.

Having someone that accurately assesses your legal issue can prove invaluable. The legal system can be complex, difficult to navigate and hard to interpret. Most legal dealings and paperwork leave no margin for error. Attorneys are well-educated experts in their field of study and are prepared to support you with most issues you may encounter. Also be aware that it is a crime for a person other than a lawyer to give you legal advice of any kind. So not only may that paralegal or form preparer's advice be wrong, but it also may break the law.

Situations where you should retain a lawyer include divorce, debt problems, in any lawsuit, buying / selling / transferring real estate, creating a will, when a family member dies, adopting a child, signing a contract, or when injured by the fault of someone else.
