Serving Lexington and the Bluegrass Region
Lexington is home to one of the most active bankruptcy courts in Kentucky, and Whitford & Owen has years of experience handling cases in the Eastern District. Whether you’re in Fayette, Madison, Clark, or Scott County — we can help you file and get a fresh start without ever asking you to come to an office.
We are a bankruptcy-only firm. That means every attorney, every case, every day is focused on one thing — helping people discharge debt, stop garnishments, and reclaim their financial lives. We’ve done it over 6,600 times across Kentucky.
What We Can Do For You
Stop Wage Garnishment
The automatic stay stops most garnishments immediately upon filing. We provide same-day documentation to your employer so you see relief as fast as possible.
Stop Foreclosure
Filing bankruptcy halts a foreclosure and gives you breathing room. Chapter 13 lets you cure mortgage arrears over time while keeping your home.
Eliminate Debt
Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debt — credit cards, medical bills, personal loans — often in just a few months. Chapter 13 restructures what you owe over three to five years.
Lexington Bankruptcy — What You Should Know
Eastern District of Kentucky — Lexington Division
Lexington residents file bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Lexington Division. We are experienced practitioners in this court and handle cases here regularly.
Kentucky Uses Federal Exemptions
Unlike many states, Kentucky allows filers to use the federal bankruptcy exemptions, which are among the most generous available. This means most people who file bankruptcy in Lexington keep everything they own — their home, car, retirement accounts, and household belongings. We’ll walk you through exactly what is and isn’t protected during your free consultation.
