TIRADO LAW OFFICE, LLC

Twenty years ago, I was a single mom, scared and overwhelmed, watching helplessly as my wages were garnished week after week. No matter how hard I worked, it never seemed to be enough. After paying rent, there were days I could barely afford food for my two-year-old. I remember sitting in the grocery store parking lot crying, wondering which bill I could skip just to keep the lights on.

Terrified and out of options, I finally made the difficult decision to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I had never felt so vulnerable. When the day of my Meeting of Creditors came, I clung to the hope that my attorney would guide me through it. But he never showed. I was left to fend for myself, explaining my situation to the Trustee alone, heart pounding, unsure of what to say or how to say it. That day changed the course of my life.

I promised myself I would never be that kind of attorney.

I didn’t just want to become a lawyer—I wanted to become an advocate. Someone who stands beside their clients, not just as legal counsel, but as a steady hand in the storm. My practice is built on that promise. My approach is client-centered, judgment-free, and deeply empathetic. I understand what it’s like to be in financial crisis—not in theory, but in lived experience.

That’s why every client I take on gets my personal cell phone. You can call or text me—even on weekends—because I know anxiety doesn’t take time off. When we meet for a consultation, I’m not just scanning your debt to see if you qualify for Chapter 7. I’m listening closely to understand who you are, what brought you here, and whether we’re a good fit.

Because here’s the truth: I only represent champions.

Not perfect people. Not people with spotless financial histories. But people who are honest, resilient, and ready to fight for their fresh start. If you show me transparency and trust, I’ll give you everything I have in return: legal skill, fierce advocacy, and a promise that you will never have to face this process alone.

Bankruptcy is not the end. It's a legal tool to help good people rebuild. I know that because I lived it—and now I help others rise from it, too.
