Author and attorney Chad Van Horn shares true stories in The Debt Life to underscore that there are proven tactics to lift the burden of debt and the spirit-crushing stress it causes. Regardless of the reason for deep debt – from liberal use of credit cards to a one-off medical emergency – debt doesn’t have to define your life. There is hope.

Van Horn, founding partner attorney at Van Horn Law Group, P.A., has seen thousands of clients go from downtrodden and desperate to uplifted and optimistic after going through the bankruptcy process, never easy or enjoyable, but ultimately worth it. The Debt Life shares these stories of hope.

Restoring peace of mind to individuals in financial distress is the linchpin of Van Horn’s firm. The team at Van Horn Law Group, P.A. is committed to dispelling debt, and the stress that comes along with it, by offering first-rate, affordable legal services with compassion, understanding and respect. The firm’s client-oriented philosophy filters into all practice areas, including student loan consolidation and litigation, estate planning/asset protection, LGBT estate planning/asset protection, foreclosure defense, corporate representation, debt consolidation, civil litigation, debt relief and consumer law, in addition to personal and corporate bankruptcy.

This unique way of operating in the business of law, combined with the hard work of a superior team, landed Van Horn Law Group, P.A. on Inc. magazine’s 2019 list of the top 5,000 fastest-growing, privately held companies in the United States. The firm also ranks as one of the top bankruptcy firms in Chapter 7 cases filed in the state of Florida* and the top bankruptcy firm in Broward County based on total number of cases filed.**

Van Horn began his journey toward launching his successful firm as a business major at Robert Morris University, in Pittsburgh, PA. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a focus on Entrepreneurship and International Business in 2005, including a semester abroad at American University of Rome in Rome, Italy. This experience broadened his horizons by opening his eyes to global economic and social perspectives.

In 2005, Van Horn moved to South Florida and started working as a bankruptcy law clerk while attending law school at night. He earned his juris doctor from Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad Law School in 2009 and was elected graduating class speaker, a vocation which he still avidly enjoys. Van Horn, a Fort Lauderdale resident, received his certification by the Florida State Bar in 2009 and from the Supreme Court of the United States in 2014. He is accredited in both consumer and business bankruptcy by the Association of Boards of Certification.

In addition to The Debt Life, Van Horn also authored Everything You Need to Know About Bankruptcy in Florida, a roadmap to bankruptcy outlining options available to those deep in debt. The book is available at www.freebankruptcybook.com.
