A Message from Partner Keith M. Welch
I joined Simon Fitzgerald LLC in 1977, and for the last 30 years, I’ve practiced bankruptcy law in Shreveport / Monroe. Our mentor, Archie Simon, was a premier bankruptcy attorney in Louisiana and an original senior partner in Simon Fitzgerald LLC. We’ve been involved in bankruptcy law for well over 50 years, tracing the original firm back to 1907.
Since 1999, we’ve primarily represented individuals and small businesses in Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 filings. We understand that even a slight disruption in income or an unexpected expense can lead to financial problems. Our team of eight experienced bankruptcy attorneys, supported by over 20 paralegals and additional staff, is dedicated to helping you regain control of your finances.
We know that making the decision to call us can be difficult. Our initial consultation is free and confidential. You’ll be treated with respect, and we’ll provide you with options to solve your financial problems. We are committed to helping our clients achieve financial freedom and making a positive impact on their lives.
