BEACHWOOD, OH, September 04, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Since opening its doors in October of 2025, Upward Law, LLC, a consumer and small-business bankruptcy firm based in Beachwood, Ohio, has helped over 100 families and small business owners across the Northern District of Ohio work toward a fresh financial start. In its first year, the firm reports saving a dozen homes from foreclosure and more than 50 vehicles from repossession for clients in communities including Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Youngstown.
Upward Law concentrates its practice on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy, Subchapter V small business reorganization, student loan issues, and tax debt matters. Consumer bankruptcy under Chapters 7 and 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code gives individuals a legal path to address overwhelming debt. Chapter 7 cases allow consumers to discharge unsecured debts such as credit card balances and medical bills, while Chapter 13 allows individuals to reorganize debts into a court-supervised repayment plan, often while keeping property such as a home. Upward’s clients often face mounting credit card debt, medical bills, wage garnishment, or the threat of repossession.
For business owners, Subchapter V of Chapter 11 offers a streamlined reorganization option created specifically for smaller businesses, allowing eligible businesses to restructure debt while continuing operations under a more efficient and less costly process than a traditional Chapter 11 filing. Upward Law focuses exclusively on Subchapter V for small companies and does not handle regular Chapter 11 cases. The firm also assists clients with student loan debt and tax debt matters, two areas that frequently intersect with broader financial hardship.
“After nearly 22 years on the business side of legal technology, starting my own firm has been incredibly exciting,” said Jason D. Grimes, founder of Upward Law, LLC. “What I’ve enjoyed most is working with struggling, yet hopeful, clients every day. We’ve already helped save homes from foreclosure and vehicles from repossession, and there’s nothing more rewarding than that.”
Grimes has contributed to legal industry publications including the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal and the Cleveland State Law Review, and he speaks regularly on topics related to legal technology and law practice management.
Upward Law accepts Chapter 7 cases from throughout Northern Ohio and Chapter 13 cases from Northeast and North-central Ohio. The firm’s office is located at 3659 Green Road, Suite 100, Beachwood, OH 44120, which can be viewed on Google Maps.
