Since opening his practice in Augusta in 1979, Lee Ringler has dedicated his career exclusively to bankruptcy law, providing compassionate, knowledgeable advocacy to clients in both Georgia and South Carolina. As a certified consumer bankruptcy specialist with extensive experience handling Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, Ringler believes in educating clients so they can make confident decisions about their financial futures.
“Bankruptcy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but for many people it offers a real opportunity to stop creditor harassment, eliminate overwhelming debt, and get a fresh start,” said Ringler. “Our goal is to help clients understand all of their options and determine whether bankruptcy might be the right financial reset for their situation.”
When Bankruptcy May Be the Appropriate Solution
Bankruptcy can provide meaningful relief for many debtors—but it’s important to understand when it may be the right choice. Common reasons individuals and families consider bankruptcy include:
-
Persistent credit card debt that makes monthly payments unmanageable
-
Medical bills that have exceeded savings and insurance coverage
-
Job loss or reduced income that disrupts the ability to meet financial obligations
-
Foreclosure or repossession threats from mortgage lenders or auto creditors
-
Lawsuits, garnishments, or creditor judgments that jeopardize financial stability
For clients considering relief, Ringler Law Offices carefully reviews financial situations, discusses potential outcomes, and explains the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy options. Chapter 7 may allow qualified individuals to discharge certain unsecured debts and start anew, while Chapter 13 can help individuals catch up on secured debt through a structured repayment plan under court supervision.
