Our Story

about-us-02-min.jpg

Robert and Patrick Semrad, the second-generation Chicago attorneys behind DebtStoppers, were inspired to specialize in bankruptcy law by their personal experience with financial hardship. After their father lost his job, their parents struggled to save their home from overwhelming tax debt. Witnessing the impact of this crisis on their family motivated the Semrad brothers to dedicate their careers to helping others find relief from crippling debt.

DebtStoppers has since grown to become a nationwide industry leader, thanks to the Semrad brothers' commitment to reaching as many people as possible with the message that help is available and affordable. They believe that bankruptcy is a powerful tool for turning around a bad situation quickly and completely. After two decades, the firm continues to explore new ways to use its expertise and creativity to help Americans in financial distress.
