The poor treatment my wife Gayle and I received as we sought solutions to our financial problems led us to believe that there was a need for a change in bankruptcy law practice. At age 39 I went to law school in Richmond to become a bankruptcy attorney. After working all through law school with Gayle by my side we founded the Boleman Law Firm in 1991 with the goal of treating everyone who comes to us seeking legal solutions for their financial problems with respect and dignity, while providing excellence in customer service and legal advice.
