About

 I’ve been a consumer bankruptcy lawyer since 2000, helping people get out of debt in Washington, Oregon and Arizona. I am the managing attorney of Northwest Debt Relief Law Firm. We have bankruptcy law offices in both Vancouver, Tacoma and Seattle, Washington and in both Portland and Salem, Oregon. We recently opened an additional office to serve Phoenix, Arizona.  I grew up in Washington, D.C. but was lucky enough to move to the Pacific Northwest in 1995. When I am not practicing bankruptcy law, I spend the bulk of my time running errands with my golden retriever, Mayzie, for my wife and little boy.Northwest Debt Relief Law Firm has been awarded an 'A+' review by the Better Business Bureau. Our bankruptcy practice is  designed to make the most of technology. For example, our clients can complete and submit their bankruptcy paperwork online. In the same vein, we are set up to download tax transcripts and property assessments right off the web. We can even get credit reports for our clients and download the creditors right into their bankruptcy petitions for their approval.At the Northwest Debt Relief Law Firm, we understand that people in Oregon, Washington and Arizona all have a difficult time coming up with the money to file bankruptcy. Unlike the other firms, we take most of our fees in monthly installments after your case is filed. Our Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Vancouver and Salem Bankruptcy Law offices are all situated such that our clients don't need to worry about paying and finding parking.So if you’re having problems and need some help, send me an e-mail or give me a call and we’ll see how I may be able to help you.

Thomas made this difficult process much easier. He explained everything in detail and what would be expected of me. He was very knowledgable and I felt like I was completely informed.

Mr. McAvity worked for my law firm on two separate tenures. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and compassionate toward clients. I strongly recommend him.

This law firm is by far the most upfront, honest and patient to deal with while having to file bankruptcy. I was so scared the first time I walked into Thomas office. He assured me that I was not the only one going through trying times. He wrote out every step of what he needed from me, what I should expect through the process and his fees. I know that I must of asked the same questions over and over but he stayed patient with me. One of the most impressive things is that he responds back to e-mails and phone calls fast. I never felt that I had to keep calling to get my answers. This firm will fight for you and help put your mind at ease. I am now having to return to him to convert my case over to a chapter 7 from a chapter 13. It has been 3 years since I had talked to Tom but when I called him he acted like it had only been weeks. He is taking on my conversion with added distance since I moved to Montana 2 years ago. My mind is at ease knowing it is in his hands now.

I hired Thomas about 2 months ago. I haven't started the filing process yet, but he made me feel comfortable and in good hands from the get-go. Looking forward to working with him!

I met Mr. McAvity just today. I went into his office with practically nothing; no hopes that he could help me with my financial disaster and no hope of trying to make a fresh start. I really believed he would turn me away or charge me an outrageous amount to even acquire his services. Instead, Mr. Avity was very compassionate and understanding of my situation and looked at many different options for me to use that would not take a toll on my pocket book. When I left his office an hour later, I felt relief for the first time in months that finally I had found someone to help me. Tom and his associates made me feel at ease from the moment I walked into the office and Sara is absolutely wonderful!! Thank you, Thank you for helping me through this difficult time! For anyone looking for a good Bankruptcy Attorney, I would strongly suggest seeing Thomas McAvity.....

Tom was able to help me figure out which kind of bankruptcy was the best fit for my situation (mortgage, credit cards, car loans, everything behind!). We decided with Tom's guidance that Chapter Seven was the best fit. Considering what the alternatives could have been it was a very relieving experience and certainly better than any of the do it yourself options we had previously considered doing. We felt Tom cared even though we saw that he had many clients. We never felt he wasn't there for us at all. We're now on our way to getting things back to where they were before our debts completely controlled our lives.
