About

At Pitts, Hay & Hugenschmidt, we have dedicated our practice exclusively to bankruptcy law—because helping individuals and families achieve a fresh financial start is what we do best. For decades, our Asheville-based law firm has proudly served clients throughout Western North Carolina, guiding them through the bankruptcy process with professionalism, compassion, and trusted experience.

We provide experienced bankruptcy attorneys in Asheville, NC and throughout the surrounding mountain communities.

One of the reasons we value bankruptcy law is its clarity and predictability. Unlike many other areas of legal practice, when clients provide complete and accurate information, we can confidently guide them toward the outcome they’ve been promised. The process is designed to be as straightforward as possible, because we understand that most clients come to us feeling anxious about what lies ahead.

The Bankruptcy Court for the western region of North Carolina meets in Asheville, and we regularly represent clients from communities such as Marion, Murphy, Hendersonville, Robbinsville, and beyond. Serving individuals and families from across the mountains is something we truly enjoy.

Bankruptcy is not the right solution for everyone. In many situations, we are able to help clients resolve debt challenges without filing bankruptcy at all. The best first step is simply to meet with us to review your options and determine the right path forward. We offer a free initial consultation so you can explore your options with confidence and no obligation.

A top-rated law firm, we have provided legal services in Western North Carolina since 1974. Edward Hay, Robert Pitts, and Benson Pitts are certified specialists in Bankruptcy Law by the North Carolina State Bar. We handle bankruptcy cases and other debtor-creditor matters and are a debt relief agency under the Bankruptcy Code.
