Additionally, Dave has also learned a thing or two, both good and bad, from owning and managing a large multi-state bankruptcy law firm called Fresh Start Legal Group.
The good: his continued focus on educating his clients about the bankruptcy process works well to alleviate his client’s stress and makes the process more efficient for everyone involved.
The bad: multiple staff and multiple attorneys worked on any given file which led to confusion, miscommunications, and lack of trust.
At Burleson Legal Group, each client is assigned only one individual bankruptcy attorney. That attorney is the same attorney you first consulted with and remains your point of contact from start to finish. There are no paralegals or assistants who work on your case, just your attorney. They know your case like the back of their hand, having gotten to know you throughout the process. We believe this personalized attention sets us apart from other experienced bankruptcy firms.
Chapter 7
Bankruptcy
The simplest form of bankruptcy, a Chapter 7 allows you to permanently eliminate debts, such as credit cards and medical bills, while often allowing you to retain most if not all of your personal property. This is the most common form of debt relief.
Chapter 13
Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a unique tool to re-organize and catch up on important bills that may have fallen behind, such as a house payment. Burleson Legal Group will work with you to help design a budget that allows you to catch up and keep the property that you want.
Chapter 128
(Wisconsin Residents Only)
Chapter 128 is not a bankruptcy, but rather a state law available only to Wisconsin residents. Known as a personal amortization, Chapter 128 takes the terms of debt repayment or negotiation out of the hands of the creditor and empowers you to pay down your debts.

Testimonials
I hired Burleson Legal Group in 2013. My case was complex, and David Burleson immediately recommended a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. He was very professional and knew his business well. Dave helped me in all aspects throughout my case. After 5 years of plan payments I successfully received my bankruptcy discharge. I had a great experience with Dave. He was easy to work with and his knowledge of the law was a spot on. I’ve referred multiple clients to Dave over the years. I highly recommend anyone going through the process to reach out to him. You won’t be disappointed at all.

I was involved in an uninsured auto accident in 2018 and was faced with losing my driver’s license. I reached out to Burleson Legal Group and spoke with Attorney David Burleson. Dave’s knowledge and welcoming personality made it comfortable to reach out and ask for his legal help. The whole process went smooth and seemed way less intimidating because he always took the time to explain in detail the documents and information required. I highly recommend Burleson Legal Group to anyone who may find themselves in need of his help with a similar issue.

We hired Dave Burleson of Burleson Legal Group in late 2020. I am disabled, and after years of compiling medical expenses, combined with the pandemic which caused my husband’s lay-off from a high paying job, we were unable to meet our financial requirements. We desperately needed help and guidance. Dave Burleson was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and up front with us as he led us through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Dave made what could have been a very time-intensive and stressful process flow smoothly. I would happily and confidently recommend Dave Burleson to my family and friends.
