Norman Bankruptcy Attorney

As a Norman bankruptcy attorney, I focus on helping people take control when debt becomes unmanageable. Bankruptcy is not the end of the road. It is a legal process designed to give you relief and a chance to move forward. By understanding your rights under Oklahoma bankruptcy law, you can make informed choices and protect your future.

I have practiced law since 1998 and opened my practice, L. Todd Nalagan, in Norman, Oklahoma, in 2008. For nearly three decades, I have guided clients in Cleveland County through financial challenges with a hands-on approach. My clients know they can reach me directly whenever questions or concerns come up.

Understanding Bankruptcy Options In Oklahoma

Bankruptcy is not about failure. It is about creating space to rebuild. As a Norman bankruptcy attorney, I explain both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 so you know which option fits your situation best.

• Oklahoma Chapter 7 bankruptcy: Often called liquidation, this option can wipe out unsecured debts such as credit cards or medical bills. Many clients are surprised to learn they can still keep essential property
• Norman Chapter 13 bankruptcy: This type allows you to create a repayment plan over three to five years, making it possible to catch up on mortgage payments or car loans while protecting your assets
• Stopping collection efforts: Bankruptcy immediately halts creditor calls, lawsuits and wage garnishments through the automatic stay, giving you breathing room

As your bankruptcy lawyer, I take time to review your financial situation in detail and guide you toward the choice that gives you the strongest foundation for the future.

Common Questions About Bankruptcy

Clients often share the same concerns about filing. Here are answers to the questions I hear most often in Norman and throughout Cleveland County.

What does bankruptcy do?

Bankruptcy provides legal relief from debts you cannot repay. Depending on the chapter filed, it can discharge certain debts or create a plan to repay them over time.

What are some common misconceptions people have about it?

Many believe they will lose everything or never recover financially. In truth, most clients keep their homes and cars and see their credit begin to improve within a few years.

What should you look for in a Oklahoma bankruptcy attorney?

Choose someone with experience in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, who explains the process clearly and remains available for questions throughout your case.
