Practice Areas
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy that discharges most unsecured debts for qualifying individuals. It typically resolves within a few months and provides relief from credit card debt, medical bills, and most personal loans. The firm represents individuals and small businesses in Chapter 7 proceedings filed in Utah.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 allows individuals with regular income to restructure debts over a three-to-five year repayment plan while retaining assets. This option is often better suited for clients who have assets worth protecting, such as a home facing foreclosure, or who do not qualify for Chapter 7 based on the means test. McCullough represents Chapter 13 clients through the plan confirmation and compliance phases.
Estate Planning
The firm drafts wills and trusts for individuals and families in southern Utah. Estate planning here likely serves both individual clients and, given McCullough’s connection to the Wills for Heroes program, first responders who receive services through that initiative.
Family Law and Divorce
McCullough represents clients in divorce proceedings and related family law matters. Details about the specific scope of custody, support, and property division work handled are not publicly elaborated on the firm’s website.
Personal Injury
The firm represents accident victims in civil litigation. Personal injury cases are handled on a plaintiff-side basis, advocating for individuals injured by the negligence of others.
Civil Litigation and Insurance Disputes
McCullough frames part of his civil litigation practice around representing the “little guy” in insurance disputes and other civil conflicts where individuals face institutional opponents. This includes workers compensation claims against insurers for workplace injuries.
Workers Compensation
Workers compensation claims against insurance carriers for workplace injuries are handled as part of the firm’s civil litigation practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wills for Heroes program, and does Jeremy McCullough participate in it?
Wills for Heroes is a national program that provides free wills, healthcare directives, and durable powers of attorney to firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians, and other emergency responders. Jeremy McCullough participates in the program, providing these documents to qualifying first responders in southern Utah at no cost.
What does it mean to be the top filing bankruptcy attorney in southern Utah?
This designation refers to filing volume: more bankruptcy petitions filed in the southern Utah region than any other attorney over an extended period. It reflects a sustained, concentrated practice in the region rather than a scattered geographic approach.
Can the firm finance legal fees?
Yes. The firm offers financing of legal services, which means clients who cannot pay the full fee upfront can arrange a payment plan. This is particularly relevant for bankruptcy clients, who may have limited liquidity by the time they seek legal help.
Does the firm handle both personal bankruptcy and business bankruptcy?
Yes. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings are handled for individuals and small businesses. Chapter 7 for small businesses typically results in closure and liquidation of business assets, while Chapter 13 is generally available only to individuals but can be used to restructure a sole proprietor’s business debts.
