Why I Became a MN Bankruptcy Attorney

I love helping people. More than that though, I love helping people help themselves. This is one of the main reasons that I became an attorney, and it’s the reason that I decided to practice bankruptcy law. Every day, I get to wake up and look forward to meeting new people, learning their stories, and giving them the peace of mind that comes with knowing that someone is prepared to advocate for you and the things that you care about with the same energy that you would.

My journey to the practice of law started when I was very young. I grew up around attorneys, and as funny as it may sound, one of my earliest memories is actually my mom reading to me from the Bill of Rights while I was eating breakfast before school one morning. This memory left a strong impression on me, as did the idea that we are all individually entitled to the benefit of certain rights and protections. It stuck with me as I grew up, and ultimately, it guided my understanding of the legal system as I went through college and decided to pursue law school myself.

Before I started at LifeBack, I worked as a legal aid attorney specializing in housing law. One of the biggest things that I took away from this experience was the commitment that my clients felt towards protecting their homes, and the vigor that they would put into defending them. Just as someone’s home is at the forefront of their focus and identity, so too are their vehicle, clothes, books, family photographs and the retirement savings that they use to plan for their future. You have a right to defend all of these from your creditors through the bankruptcy process, and that’s what I help people do every day as an attorney with LifeBack Law.

For me, the primary purpose of the law is to protect the rights of individuals. This idea guides me in everything I do as an attorney, and helps me to focus on what is most important: making sure that my client’s rights are protected. Whether this is the right to protect your property, your dignity, or your peace of mind, I always put everything I have into ensuring that each of these things are preserved for the people that I represent. I enjoy every opportunity that I have to serve those who feel like they need help protecting these rights, and giving my clients the security that comes with knowing that these things are defended is what I truly love most about both my job and what we do here on a daily basis at LifeBack Law.

- Jessica A.

“Kain and Scott is the BEST!! Margaret H. helped me out a great deal when I was going through my hardship! I really love the fact that all the staff including Lindsay B. was kind enough to answer some personal questions that I had along the way. I wouldn't choose another company to work with! Thank you everyone who made my journey as a BREEZE! Now I would like to include Stephanie V. Buerger for congratulating me on my journey stepping forward to a debt free life! Stephanie Googins has done a great job providing me with additional information after the bankruptcy proc”ess!

“I highly recommend this firm as well as recommending bankruptcy! Times have changed and it's not a big deal like it may have once been or how old people talk about it. It's truly a new beginning. This has made my life so much simpler. Exactly what I needed heading into a divorce. I can't thank these guys enough!! ”

- Mandy B.

“The process was so easy, this firm does all of the work for you and really works for you. They are great in responding to any questions you may have. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is struggling with debt. They are also very cost effective, and will work with you for payment arrangements. We couldn't be more satisfied! Debt free finally!”

“All I can say is wow! From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcome and better right away! Everyone one treated me like me like my story actually mattered! I worked with Misty Myers and she was such an amazing person to work with! She made things so easy and just took charge right away with trying to help! I highly recommend Kain and Scott! I couldn't be happier with how I was treated!”

- Dustin S

“Even from the first conversation I had on the phone regarding their services, I knew I was going to choose them. I made an appointment for the following week and was welcomed with no judgement. The whole process was fast and efficient. I worked personally with Misty, Samantha, and Callie but everyone there was extremely helpful when I had questions. There was little to no paperwork and they did most of the work for me. My only regret was not filing sooner!”

- Megan W.

“The staff at Kain & Scott were amazing! They make you feel very comfortable from the first time you step in the door. Everything is well organized and they respond quickly to any questions you have. Shout out to Wes, Calli, Megan, Sarah, and Lindsey you all were great in helping me get my life back. Keep up the good work!!”

- Toby A.

“I have to say I have had the greatest experience filing bankruptcy with Kain&Scott. Kelsey B Quarburg and Jesse A Horoshak were two of the most professional attorneys I have ever worked with. Jesse showed up at my 341 meeting totally prepared. Other attorneys along with their clients weren't. Jesse and I weren’t called up first, so I had the privilege of seeing how this meeting would work. The first two clients and attorneys weren’t prepared at all, they were told by the federal trustees,that they were missing paperwork and information. It took these two clients and attorneys 20 minutes each to get through the process. Jesse had 1 client he was representing before me. The process was flawless, 5 minutes and the process was complete. My meeting took 5 minutes. It proved to me choosing the best law firm matters. Kelsey B Quarburg is the best. She was very professional yet she was also human. She would respond to my emails at odd times of the day and night. She kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you both. Thank you Callie for making sure my paperwork was forwarded and up to date. What a team. Thank you all so much for a job well done ,and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Once again thank you all,for giving my life back. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ”

- Maurice W.

“Stellar customer service and you have the “how can I help you” staff! You made my future easier to handle and I have so much more confidence especially with your staff behind me. I appreciate all your help and time you spend helping me address my credit. ”

- Nancy N.

“I am very fortunate to have found Kain & Scott. They made my experience fast, friendly and trustworthy. Thank you to Megan R. for being flexible with payment arrangements and really understanding what other people may be going through and how to do what is best for them. 😊 Thank you to Stephanie Buerger as well,for being very welcoming and easy to work with during my initial info gathering. Thank you gals for making my experience a low stress to the point “filer friendly” experience. ”
