Mark R. Podis

I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. After receiving my undergraduate degree from Tennessee Tech in 1983, I attended Cumberland School of Law and received my Juris Doctorate in 1986. I have practiced Bankruptcy Law from our office on Murfreesboro Road for 36 years, focusing primarily in the field of consumer bankruptcy, and I have handled more than 35,000 files. I am excited about our recent move to 102 Woodmont Blvd in Nashville.  I have devoted my career to helping families get out of debt and start living again, enabling them to relieve the stress of being in debt by filing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.

Like Mark, I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. I attended McGavock High School, and I graduated from Centre College of Kentucky with a BA in English and a BA in Government in 1988. In 1994, I received my Juris Doctorate from Memphis State University and my license to practice law in the state of Tennessee. I have practiced in the areas of Social Security Disability law, mortgage foreclosure, and creditor rights, but I have focused on debtors rights since 1997. I have spent hundreds of hours counseling our clients on how to get back on their feet after the bankruptcy is completed. I enjoy seeing our clients realize that the stress is gone and they are on the road to financial freedom after a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13! So, if you are looking for a debt lawyer – call us!
