Why Hire Marjorie A. Guymon for Bankruptcy in Las Vegas?

• Nevada exemption planning: Nevada has favorable bankruptcy exemptions including the homestead exemption (up to $605,000 under NRS 21.090). A Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney like Marjorie can help you maximize what you keep.
• Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13: Marjorie at Guymon Law Group can assess which chapter fits your situation — Chapter 7 (discharge in 3–4 months) or Chapter 13 (3–5 year repayment plan to catch up on mortgage or car payments).
• Automatic stay protection: Filing bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that immediately stops wage garnishments, bank levies, foreclosure, and most collection calls — giving you breathing room.
• Credit rebuilding guidance: Marjorie advises clients on what to expect after bankruptcy in Nevada and how to begin rebuilding credit, which most people can do within 2–3 years of discharge.

Bankruptcy Law in Las Vegas — What You Need to Know

Nevada's legal system has its own procedures, deadlines, and standards that differ from other states. For bankruptcy cases in Clark County, the court of record is typically the Clark County District Court for felonies and civil matters over $15,000, or the Las Vegas Justice Court for misdemeanors and small claims. Choosing a Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney who regularly appears in these specific courts — and who knows the local culture and preferences — can make a meaningful difference in your outcome.

Nevada law imposes strict deadlines on most legal matters. Personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years under NRS 11.190; DUI-related license suspensions trigger an immediate seven-day clock to request a DMV hearing; divorce filings require six weeks of Nevada residency under NRS 125.020. Missing these windows can permanently bar your legal remedies. Marjorie's 32 years of Nevada practice means clients get timely guidance on all applicable deadlines from the first consultation.

What to Expect Working with Marjorie A. Guymon

Most Nevada attorneys in bankruptcy offer a free initial consultation. During that first meeting, you should expect Marjorie to review the specific facts of your case, explain the likely legal process, outline fee arrangements (whether contingency, hourly, or flat fee), and give you a realistic assessment of your options. See our guide on Questions to Ask a Bankruptcy Attorney for the exact questions you should ask any attorney before you hire them.

Fee structures in Nevada vary by practice area. For personal injury and wrongful death cases, contingency fees typically range from 33% to 40% of the recovery. Criminal defense and DUI representation is usually flat-fee or hourly. For detailed cost information specific to bankruptcy cases, see our Bankruptcy Attorney Costs.

If You've Already Had an Incident
