Why We Talk About Debt & Bankruptcy

For many people, the word bankruptcy sparks fear, shame, or a sense of failure. But Laura Hopkins helps reframe the conversation. Bankruptcy, she explains, isn’t the end of the road—it’s a legal tool designed to give people breathing room, financial clarity, and a chance to rebuild without drowning under debt.

She also points out that many people who go through the bankruptcy process emerge stronger and more focused, with a healthier financial future ahead.

From creditor negotiations to long-term financial rebuilding, her mission is to guide clients through the process with both legal expertise and compassion.
