Haughton Bankruptcy Law Firm
Overview
Debt can happen to anyone, but for some people and through no fault of their own, it can quickly become oppressive. The Cook Law Firm, APLC, in Haughton, Louisiana, offers bankruptcy and other debt resolution services. When wage garnishment, creditor harassment and other indignities begin to take a toll on individuals' finances, emotional well-being and the very quality of life, it is time for them to take speedy and decisive action. By entrusting their situations to us, debtors can put an immediate end to collections and other issues, possibly eliminate debt and move forward to a better future.
Though bankruptcy is an incredible option that protects the rights of borrowers and consumers, it is not the right option for every situation. Our law firm uses the free initial consultation to learn more about a person's goals and wishes for debt relief. We then use each subsequent in-person and virtual appointment to familiarize ourselves with every aspect of their finances and explore the most practical solutions. If we determine that bankruptcy is not the best option, we may recommend debt negotiation. Like bankruptcy, negotiating a settlement can help individuals protect their assets, provide relief from collections actions and achieve a much-needed fresh start.
The Cook Law Firm, APLC, is composed of five highly skilled attorneys who intimately understand the bankruptcy process and the laws that govern it. We use our knowledge and experience not just to help clients navigate the debt relief process but also to equip them with the skills they need to make the most of their fresh starts. This includes providing credit repair services.
Our team understands that finances are already an issue for our clients. We gladly accept credit cards as payment while cases pend.
We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
