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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Tennessee typically take?

• Can Elonzo take my case if I'm outside Knoxville?

  Elonzo 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 — Elonzo 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 Elonzo?

  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. Elonzo will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Elonzo accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

  Elonzo's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
