Dorothy K. Butler Lawrence is one of the finest and most talented attorneys in the United States. She is the owner of the Dorothy Butler Law Firm, a law firm that specializes in bankruptcy law, tax law, estate planning, business, and employment law, and family and divorce law. When it comes to bankruptcy law there is no one better and more talented than her, which is evident from the fact that she is a 7 times Texas Super Lawyers Rising Star. Dorothy and her team regularly work with debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. The Dorothy Butler Law Firm believes that each case of bankruptcy is unique. Dorothy’s firm will look at your specific set of facts, such as the assets that you own, the types of debts that you have, and your income, and guide you towards a bankruptcy plan that works the best for you.
Dorothy believes that one of the main reasons people fear bankruptcy so much is that they believe the misconceptions that are taught to them. She wants to change that, and therefore she has dedicated herself and her firm to busting myths and misconceptions related to bankruptcy. One of the most common misconceptions that she talks about over and over again is that it takes years to repair one’s credit. Well, as an expert in this field, she can assure you with one hundred percent confidence that you can repair your credit very easily. All you have to do is to file for bankruptcy and the negative dings that hit and lower your credit each month will stop. As you rebuild after that, your credit will start improving and you will get up on your feet in no time.
You may also have been taught that filing for bankruptcy will drown you and you will lose everything. Well, Dorothy Lawrence can assure you that it’s a misconception. The probability that you will lose everything, says Dorothy, is very low because you are by law entitled to have a house, a car, and your regular belongings when you file for bankruptcy. (Dorothy practices in Texas and Louisiana and cannot speak to the exact laws in every state.)
Dorothy believes that the most common reason behind these misconceptions is the internet. She believes that people fall prey to misinformation when they seek advice from their friends instead of licensed attorneys. She wants to change that, which is why she regularly engages with her audience on her Instagram account @yourtrendylawyer.
The Dorothy Butler Law Firm is more than just a law firm. Dorothy has dedicated a specific portion of her Instagram posts entirely to busting common law myths. Her “myth buster” posts are very popular. People are starving for such educational content, which is evident from the unbelievable public engagement her posts receive on Instagram. Educating people about the law is at the heart of the Dorothy Butler Law Firm.
If you visit @yourtrendylawyer you will see educational content worth a degree, and that’s all for free! That’s because Dorothy believes that her job as a bankruptcy attorney is more than just helping clients deal with bankruptcy. She believes that her job is also that of an educator. She is making a difference not just by offering law services, but also by educating people about it.
