Last week I called Coleman & Kempinski, not sure what to expect. I had not heard of them before. Surprisingly Kim, one of the attorneys answered the call. I explained a little bit about my situation. She asked some questions and explained some options available to me. We set up an appointment for the next week.
Earlier this week I went to their Northern Liberties office to discuss things in greater detail - for a free consultation. (I parked a half block from their office, for free.) Before that I went to the library to read a little on these kinds of financial issues. The readings were definitely worthwhile but still did not answer many specific questions about my particular situation. I also got some of my numbers together so she would have a better idea of the situation.
After meeting, I now have a much better idea of what my options are. Now I have to decide what to do.
At the end of the meeting I said, I don't have much money but I could pay you something for all your help. Kim said, thanks but there is no charge for this meeting. Just let us know if we can help going forward and let others know about us.
If I file, I will definitely use them. No matter what I do, I will be in contact with them.
If you have financial issues to deal with, I recommend calling them immediately. Find out what your options are. I will sleep better because I made that call.
Best of luck.
