Firm: Cairncross & Hempelmann, P.S.
524 Second Avenue , Seattle , Washington 98104
Practice Areas: Chapter 13, Bankruptcy, Chapter 11, Residential Real Estate, Immigration, Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
I help people get the relief that is available under the bankruptcy code and I actually enjoy doing it. I have heavily concentrated in bankruptcy, filing or otherwise working on approximately 2000 cases over a 15 year span. In addition to my consumer bankruptcy experience, I also do creditor's side work helping aggrieved parties collect on their debts. I know how they think, and I can help you get relief.. While bankruptcy is my main area of concentration, I can also help business wind up their activities or help them in receiverships.. On the personal side, I graduated with a degree in geology and worked in a limestone quarry as an on-site geologist for a summer. After that, I moved to Japan where I taught English, wrote English textbooks and helped to manage an English school for 4.5 years.. I look forward to getting to know you and to helping you with your case.. -Steve Palmer

I am a former creditor attorney.  I now exclusively represent consumers in bankrutpcy, debt settlement, debt litigation (FDCPA, RCW 19.16, RCW 19.86), and tenant rights.. My background as a former creditor side and former landlord side attorney gives me a well rounded approach in defending and counter attacking against creditors, debt collectors, and landlords.  Not every case is complicated but often there are complexities in what appears to be simple cases.  I give each case and client a thorough analysis for litigation, settlement, bankruptcy, and out of court options.. Prior to law school, I obtained my B.A. in Psychology and served in the U.S. Air Force (active and reserve) for nearly ten years during which I deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom in support of post 9/11 operations.  I currently live in beautiful Mill Creek, WA with my wife and two children.  During my free time I enjoy cooking, travelling, martial arts, reading, and rooting for the Seahawks.
