A Jacksonville Florida Bankruptcy Attorney with over 30 years experience!

Meet our Attorneys

My name is D.C. Higginbotham.

I am a graduate of the University of Florida School of Law and served four years in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Judge Advocate General. I am a life-long resident of Jacksonville, Florida and practice bankruptcy law exclusively.

Trent Higginbotham

My son, Trent Higginbotham, joined the firm after he graduated from Stetson Law School in 2015 and we’ve been practicing together since.

Choose The Right Bankruptcy Law Firm

When you have your free initial consultation, by phone or in person, it will be with one of us.

We will ask you detailed questions about your financial situation and problems, answer your questions, and tell you how bankruptcy will work in your case. This consultation will normally take about 30 minutes. After the initial consultation, if you decide to file bankruptcy, you will make another appointment to actually start the process.

When you come in to start up your bankruptcy, again, you will meet with either me or my son. This meeting usually takes about an hour. We will draft all the necessary bankruptcy papers which will be ready for you to sign a few days later. Many other bankruptcy law firms may let you meet or speak with an actual attorney only once, at the initial consultation. Then you are assigned off to a “paralegal” or assistant who actually prepares all the bankruptcy papers with you, supposedly under the “oversight” of the attorney.

This is not the way it should be, and is not the way we do it! Only if I personally prepare your papers do I know that you are getting the maximum benefit of the bankruptcy laws and avoiding any potential pitfalls.
