About: My name is Däna (pronounced “Donna”) Wilkinson, and I’ve been a bankruptcy lawyer for 20 years. I went to law school at the University of South Carolina, worked for two bankruptcy judges, and practiced for a number of years with bankruptcy boutique firms. In fact, I’ve never practiced any other kind of law.
I’m certified as a bankruptcy specialist by the South Carolina Supreme Court, which means that I’ve taken and passed a proficiency examination on bankruptcy law, devoted my practice primarily to bankruptcy for a number of years, and have continued to take classes on bankruptcy law and related issues.
In 1998 I opened my own practice, focused on representing ordinary people who find themselves overwhelmed by debt. I enjoy the work, and I like the freedom of being my own boss. One benefit is that I can focus on the needs of my clients, and craft an approach that is based on what is important to them. I don’t have a “one size fits all” mentality about what is best for my clients. My goal is to advise my clients of the options they have to deal with their financial difficulties, and whenever possible help them make a fresh start.See Authors Posts (128) on Oct 29, 2009 in Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, Your Bankruptcy Attorney & You | 0 Comments
A Chapter 13 is a bankruptcy reorganization for individuals–a payment plan, in other words. The bankruptcy court appoints a trustee (there are standing trustees who serve that function in each district) and the trustee collects payments from debtors, and distributes that money to creditors. So, how does the Chapter 13 trustee get paid?
The Chapter 13 [...]

There really are few reasons which are good enough to justify rescheduling a bankruptcy meeting of creditors (or section 341(a) meeting). After all, the bankruptcy filing amounts to “making a federal case out of things,” and it just doesn’t seem right for the debtor to fail to make room in his or her schedule to [...]

We all handle medical problems differently. Go to any Emergency Room and you may wonder why the guy experiencing chest pains for the past week didn’t come in earlier and why the kid with the splinter is there at all.
Financial problems are the same. Some delay getting financial counsel, while others are pro-active and want [...]

I’ve been asked the question a thousand times. “How can your clients afford to file bankruptcy if they don’t have any money?” Its a good question. Certainly a question I asked before opening my consumer bankruptcy practice 18 years ago. Where does the money come from?
Lets start with the obvious. Family. I have seen parents [...]
