Attorney Francois Choudoir works to help clients all over Mississippi find relief through filing bankruptcy. Francois and his partner Danny Smith opened Smith & Choudoir in 2015, offering legal services in family, bankruptcy, and will & estate planning. Francois specializes in bankruptcy and chancery law at the firm. He tailors his services to each client individually and provides the best solution for each of them. Mississippi State & Mississippi College of Law Alumn Francois enjoys playing golf & pool, along with watching Mississippi State sporting events.

In early 2016, Francois was looking for a cloud-based and Apple compatible software he could trust to manage and file his bankruptcy cases. Francois stumbled upon NextChapter, which fit his criteria perfectly. He wanted to give his firm flexibility and the cloud has allowed him to do so. Without being locked down to a specific desktop, the staff at Smith & Choudoir can work on any computer or tablet. NextChapter's cloud-based platform also makes having two different office locations manageable. Francois can access his cases and case files at either location on the web. Even when Francois or his team isn't at the office, they are still able to work on cases from home.
