Buckrop and VanDeVelde is a small firm who knows the importance of family because we are family! Our attorneys and staff are available to answer your questions throughout your bankruptcy to ensure you are comfortable with the process and know what to expect. Our prices consist of a flat fee (Except for Chapter 13 services in Iowa which are required to be billed hourly) and we do not utilize any hidden fees in our practice. We are not a bankruptcy mill! We focus on our clients and their needs.
