Changes in health, employment,
marital status, or the economy are the
main reasons people have to file bankruptcy.
Filing a bankruptcy can be a complicated,
life changing process. It doesn't have to be
terrifying. Many clients tell me the
sense of relief began at their first
consultation.
At our first consultation I will
explain the steps involved and
answer all of your questions so you know
your
options and what to expect. See
The
Steps to Filing a Bankruptcy for more
details.
Unlimited Free
Consultations
I want to make sure all of your
questions are answered so you
can make an informed decision
about bankruptcy. Call for a
free consultation. If I'm
not with a client, I'll speak
with you immediately. If I am
with a client or in court, you
will be offered a free office or
phone consultation. There
is no limit to the number of
free phone consultations.
Experience Matters
When it comes to bankruptcy and foreclosure, an experienced attorney can really make
the difference. I have been working in the field of consumer bankruptcy law for over 25 years helping people through the bankruptcy process. Many
of the attorneys that advertise
heavily have only been doing
bankruptcies a short time.
Always ask about an attorney's
experience.
Important
News: Principal Reduction of Home
