Nick Curtis Thompson
Highly rated Louisville Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Defense
OFFICE, VIDEO, AND PHONE CONSULT AVAILABLE: I spend two to four hours with you personally listening, planning, and preparing your best options. I have filed thousands of Chapter 7 and 13 cases, and now prepare only 3-5 cases per week. Other offices hand you over to a secretary, paralegal, junior attorney, or their children. I personally prepare your case. Compare our Avvo and Google ratings and results to the others.
EXCLUSIVE PRACTICE. Our practice is exclusively in foreclosure and bankruptcy cases. I don’t just keep abreast of foreclosure and bankruptcy law. We teach it in NBI seminars and boot camps to other attorneys.
CUSTOMER SERVICE. Toni is your legal consultant. She will guide you through the process when it comes to answering administrative questions.
I am personally available to clients for legal advice, even after the case is over. You are not under any obligation in our first session.
PAYMENT PLAN: We offer no money down options if you need to file bankruptcy immediately to stop a garnishment and don’t have cash.
Remote preparation: We have a secure “Client Portal” where you can complete your intake and upload documents from the comfort of home, saving time in the office.
Chapter 7 often runs $1200 to 1400. We work to ensure if you need a Chapter 7, you qualify for it. Chapter 13 cases pay attorneys 3500 or more. That is why, in some offices, Chapter 13 cases can be over 90% of their cases.
In 2020, I filed the first small business reorganization act bankruptcy in Kentucky, and I represent small businesses. I have been an assistant county attorney in Bullitt County and an assistant attorney general assigned to the tax department. My US Tax Court license is #51, and I was one of the first 50 attorney generals invited to the US Tax Court. We have presented seminars and co-authored a book on how to bankrupt student loans.

- Q. CAN I KEEP MY CAR IF IT HAS A LIENHOLDER? I WANT TO KEEP THE CAR BUT GET RID OF THE LOAN WITH THE LIENHOLDER.
- A: When you use the car as security the lender ends up with an ownership interest in the car. If you file bankruptcy you can normally still pay the loan and keep the auto. There are no free cars or homes in bankruptcy. The only exception I know of is occassionally the lender forgets to file the lien or mortgage. But then the Trustee owns the home or car if you file bankruptcy. He is the same as a creditor who has sued you at the time of your filing and attached your property. Exemptions allow you to keep some equity. The exemption for a car in Kentucky is 4500 dollars. So if the auto is worth less than 4500 or has less than 4500 in equity you would keep the auto even if there was no lien. ... Read More
- Q. Can I apply for a credit card if I have received my chapter 13 discharge but not my final decree?
- A: Your discharge is your final decree. Post discharge, you can do as you please. But getting back into debt destroys the work you did to get out of debt.
- Q. My house foreclosed a year and half ago. I'm getting a bill from an insurance company for 2700.00 what do I do.
- A: The mortgage company normally pays the insurance during the foreclosure. I don't know if the insurance company is sending you the bill because you contracted for insurance or the insurance was forced placed and contracted for by the mortgage company. Either way, you normally are not liable for this insurance after you file the bankruptcy unless you personally contracted for this insurance after you filed bankruptcy. Also, be a little wary of any scams. I could imagine a scam artist sending you a bill for insurance.
