• How much does it cost to hire Philbert for a bankruptcy case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Philbert walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Can Philbert take my case if I'm outside Memphis?

  Philbert is licensed in Tennessee. Matters governed by Tennessee law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Philbert will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Philbert?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Philbert will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
