Exhibit A
Bankruptcy Lawyers work in Savannah
Savannah carries a steady stream of bankruptcy searches because the demand here is household debt, not business failure. Chatham County filings move through the federal courthouse in the city, and the people searching are usually weighing a Chapter 7 discharge against a Chapter 13 repayment plan after a garnishment notice, a foreclosure letter or a maxed out card. The firms competing for those searches are mostly small practices and solo attorneys working out of offices around the historic district and out toward the southside, with a handful of consumer law practices that advertise across the whole region. Paid search on bankruptcy terms in Savannah is contested by the consumer bankruptcy firms and by the larger debt relief operations that buy ads nationally and route calls to local counsel. The searches themselves are specific: people type the chapter number, the courthouse, the wage garnishment, the car they need to keep. That specificity is where a Savannah practice can own the ground.
