Solicitor Michael John Read, of Clifton Street, Old Town, who previously traded from premises in Cheney Manor Road, has been declared bankrupt.
An unnamed creditor filed the petition at Swindon County Court last year and the official receiver of London Road, Gloucester, has been appointed to safeguard the debtor's assets.
The amount of debt is unknown, but bankruptcy proceedings can only be brought if at least £750 is owed.
