Attorney Information
Overview
I'm Ben Sissman, a lawyer with more than 30 years of experience handling consumer bankruptcies of all kinds. At my law office, I help clients in Memphis and surrounding counties to eliminate their debts, achieve the "fresh start" they deserve and rediscover the road to financial freedom.
Do creditors harass you? Does your debt keep you awake at night? Do you dread opening your bills? Are you frightened by the prospect of foreclosure on the Tennessee home you worked so hard to afford?
I am here to tell you this: No. 1, the bankruptcy system was created for people in your exact situation. No. 2: You are going to be okay.
Creditors can make all the threats they want. The truth is, you can file for bankruptcy and still live a perfectly happy and comfortable life, free of embarrassment and full of hope for the future. There's a good chance you'll be able to keep your house and car — and a lawyer can make sure you do it right.
I want to be that lawyer. To find out more about the far less stressful life after bankruptcy that awaits you, and to schedule your free initial consultation, contact me today at 866-788-0394 toll free.

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.
