The Law Office of Kim Covington has announced Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy filing services for individuals in Roseburg, Oregon, providing a legal path to resolve unmanageable debt and stop creditor collection efforts.

Eugene, United States, October 4, 2026 -- The Law Office of Kim Covington has announced the availability of Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy filing services for individuals in Roseburg, Oregon, designed to eliminate qualifying debts and restore financial stability.

More information is available at https://www.kimcovington-bankruptcylawyer.com/

The announcement comes on the back of a 25% increase in bankruptcy filings across Oregon in 2025, climbing from about 6,360 in 2024 to nearly 8,000 cases, according to the Oregon State Treasury's 2026 Financial Wellness Scorecard. The Law Office of Kim Covington's Chapter 7 liquidation filing services seek to give individuals a way to discharge unmanageable debt outright, rather than attempt to absorb it without a financial cushion.

Chapter 7 liquidation allows individuals to discharge qualifying unsecured debts, including credit card balances and medical bills, without requiring a repayment plan. Once a case is filed, an automatic stay takes effect, halting creditor harassment, wage garnishment, and pending foreclosure or repossession actions while the case proceeds.

Filing costs through the firm start at $1,200 in attorney fees, in addition to a court filing fee. Exact costs are determined only after a full consultation, since case complexity and individual circumstances affect the final fee. Payment plans are available to make the filing process more accessible for individuals who cannot pay costs upfront.

Individuals can schedule a complimentary one-hour consultation to review their debts, income, and assets, and to determine whether Chapter 7 liquidation or another bankruptcy option fits their circumstances. The firm offers flexible evening and weekend appointments to accommodate clients' schedules.

Attorney Kim Covington has practiced bankruptcy law in Oregon for more than 24 years and works directly with clients on Chapter 7 filings from her Eugene office. A graduate of the University of Oregon School of Law, she built her practice exclusively around bankruptcy relief, earning recognition that includes Martindale-Hubbell's Client Champion distinction, an Avvo Client's Choice Award, and a Three Best Rated Best Business designation.

"Kim Covington's services helped me through a very scary and difficult time of my life. Bankruptcy is not easy, but Kim is very compassionate and helped me find peace of mind. Kim really knows the bankruptcy laws, and because of that, I felt very prepared for my hearing," said Barb L. of Eugene.

After more than 72 years of continuous operation as a family-owned cornerstone of Douglas County’s timber industry, Nordic Veneer Inc. will permanently cease production at its facility in Roseburg, Or.

The company, founded in 1954 by Dick Adams and Norm Jacobsen, purchased the Perkins veneer plant in Dixonville in 1960 and has since operated under the stewardship of the Adams family across four generations. It has been a vital local employer, producing high-quality veneer and contributing to the regional wood products economy.

“After careful and difficult consideration, we have made the decision to close our operations,” said Art Adams, owner of Nordic Veneer. “Our industry has faced sustained wood supply and market challenges, structural realignment, and foreign competition. Despite our team’s hard work, recent investments in efficiency, and deep commitment to this business, sustaining operations is no longer viable under current market conditions.”

Nordic Veneer has long been defined by its family leadership and strong ties to the community, including support for local hospitals and cancer centers, libraries, schools, healthcare systems, Umpqua Valley Christian School, and early efforts to bring Christian radio to the area through translators.

The company will work closely with its dedicated team of employees to provide transition support, and is actively working with employees on job placement resources. Nordic Veneer extends its sincere gratitude to its employees—many of whom have been part of the “family-oriented” culture for decades—as well as to its suppliers, customers, and the broader Roseburg and Douglas County community for their partnership over more than seven decades.

The Adams family remains proud of the legacy built on hard work, integrity, local investment, and care for the community that has defined Nordic Veneer since its founding.

“We would like to thank our dedicated employees over the last 72 years, the community who has stood beside us every step of the way, and most of all the Creator of it all, who sustained our business and family and blessed us beyond anything we could have imagined. To God be the glory.”

It’s been more than 20 years since Roseburg celebrated its last Obon Festival, an event centered around bringing Japanese traditions and culture to Douglas County. This weekend, that hiatus comes to a close.

12:30–8 p.m. Saturday, the Roseburg Obon Festival is making a comeback at Stewart Park, complete with traditional live music, dancing, craft activities, vendors and more.

What is Obon?

In Japan, Obon is a Buddhist festival dedicated to honoring ancestors. Traditionally held in the summer, it’s a time for families to clean gravesites, perform traditional dances and light lanterns to guide ancestral spirits home.

Established in 1997 by the Roseburg Sister Cities (RSC) program, The Roseburg Obon Festival takes the event as a way to educate Douglas County on Japanese culture and traditions. After the passing of RSC founder Harold Winfield in 2000, the event went on hiatus for over 20 years.

For RSC President Janet Johnston, bringing back the Obon Festival is a way to engage her community in Japanese culture and connect with the RSC program.

“We’ve been going for almost 40 years and you still find people in the community that say they’ve never heard of us,” Johnston said. “I think it’s a unique opportunity for citizens in our community to have a relationship with Japan.”

The RSC program primarily connects Roseburg and Japan through annual exchange trips. RSC Vice President Eric Fullerton said bringing back the Obon Festival gives Roseburg residents who are unable to travel a way to experience that connection.

“There are several board members, and myself, who are really passionate about trying to bring more experiences to the community to help foster some of that friendship and understanding, especially for community members who may not be able to go and travel with us to Japan but still have an interest in Japanese culture.” Fullerton said.

Event highlights

Much of the Roseburg Obon Festival is centered around performances, including from experts in Japanese instrumentation.

That includes a 1 p.m. performance from Masumi Timson. Specializing in the koto, a Japanese string instrument, Timson holds a Master’s degree in traditional Japanese music from Seiha Conservatory in Tokyo.

Attendees can also catch a koto performance at 4 p.m. from string ensemble Oregon Koto-Kai, a group who uses the instrument to blend both traditional and modern sounds.

At 6 p.m., the festival will host a performance from Eugene Taiko, a Japanese percussion ensemble who perform original and traditional compositions.

But the traditional offerings go beyond music. From 12–4 p.m., guests can take part in origami making or purchase and decorate their own Obon lantern. A Japanese story telling session, hosted by Roseburg-local Joe Ross, will take place at 2 p.m.

The event will close at 7 p.m. with an Obon dance, featuring both the traditional folk dance of shobu-ondo and hand-clapping ceremony of sanbon-jime. Those who want to take part can attend practice sessions at both 3 p.m. and 5 p.m..

Vendors will sell their wares in the park across the entire day, including Eugene Bonsai, Tabletop Kingdom and Yamada Vending Co..
