Attorney Bram Bevins - Maryville Bankruptcy Attorney

When the pandemic hit, I completely changed how I work with folks right here in Maryville, Alcoa, and throughout Blount County—and I’ve never looked back. I no longer maintain a traditional commercial office or make clients drive across town for meetings. The only reason we might ever meet face-to-face is to handle a final paperwork detail, and that's rare. I also don’t wear stuffy lawyer attire—most days, I’m in jeans and a t-shirt. At this point in my life, I can’t stand suits or ties. If working with a relaxed, down-to-earth local attorney is a dealbreaker, I may not be your guy.

If you value your time and hard-earned money, though, I might be the perfect fit. By operating remotely and skipping high office overhead, I’m able to keep my fees much lower than most attorneys across East Tennessee—many of whom charge $1,200 to $1,500 for routine Chapter 7 cases. My process is streamlined, efficient, and designed to save you both time and money. 

Here’s how it works: all consultations are by phone. You won’t need to take off work, fight local traffic, or arrange childcare. We set a time, and I’ll call you—often in the evening, right here from Blount County, if that’s more convenient for your schedule. Paperwork can be sent via email, text, or mail. Payments are accepted by check, money order, cashier’s check, or PayPal/Venmo (bbevinslaw@gmail.com). Cash is fine too, but we’d need to meet up locally for that. Once everything is reviewed, signatures are handled through DocuSign, and you’ll mail back a physical “wet ink” copy for my records—or we can meet briefly in person. 

You’ll have one mandatory Zoom meeting with the bankruptcy trustee. Because of that, you’ll need to be comfortable using basic technology. If you’re not able to manage Zoom on your own, I may choose not to take your case. 

I earned my law degree from North Carolina Central University School of Law in Durham, where I was proud to receive the Anne Duncan Award for Academic Achievement in the Face of Significant Obstacles. I also hold a Master’s Degree in General Psychology from East Tennessee State University, and I’ve taught psychology at both the college and community college level. 

On a personal note, I’m a big Bruce Springsteen fan and a lifelong dog lover. One of my passions is painting—I'm a Bob Ross Certified Instructor and love teaching people how to paint just like Bob. If you’re curious, you can check out my painting website at www.paintwithbram.com.
