Maloney, Esq., our team of seasoned professionals brings deep expertise in navigating the complexities of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We’ve successfully guided thousands of clients through financial challenges, earning accolades such as Best Lawyers®: Best Law Firms and AV Preeminent ratings from Martindale-Hubbell.
Rooted in strong local communities yet equipped for national reach, we blend compassion with proven legal strategies to turn overwhelming debt into opportunities for a fresh financial start.
Why We Do What We Do
We founded Watton Law Group on a simple yet profound belief: financial hardship doesn’t define a person’s worth, and no one should face it alone. In a world where debt can feel like an inescapable burden, whether from medical bills, job loss, or unexpected life events, we’re driven by a passion to empower “good people who’ve fallen on tough times.”
Our mission is to demystify bankruptcy and debt relief, revealing the brighter side of these tools as pathways to freedom and stability. We’ve witnessed firsthand how a single strategic filing can discharge unmanageable obligations and halt foreclosures, restoring hope and control. Ultimately, we do this because we know that behind every case is a story of resilience, and we’re committed to helping write a chapter of fresh starts.
