My practice mirrors the variety of cases that come before the Bankruptcy Court. I represent debtors, Trustees, creditors, and other parties in interest under all of the various bankruptcy chapters. I enjoy assisting regular people and their businesses in resolving financial problems that might otherwise be debilitating for them and their families. I handle bankruptcy matters from the most routine to the very complex, often receiving referrals from other bankruptcy attorneys, and my reputation is for providing the highest quality legal services at reasonable, competitive rates.. Outside of my work life, I enjoy running and reading and spending time with my family.

My law office is about efficiency and price.. These go hand in hand for legal services but it is my obligation for clients to feel satisfied. My clients are given an honest assessment upfront about the complexity and time involved in their case. I take advantage of e-communications and keep in-person time to a minimum in order to maximize on keeping fees low. The law library is practically no more, my firm takes advantage of the countless legal resources served online.. My prices are more than competitive. Price doesn't always mean quality of service. The firm offers great prices on regular legal services, while most "older" law firms charge a premium. Ask me about our rates, you be the judge.. Our approach to law is not about the bottom line but about the relation and services with our clients.

Located in Old Town Alexandria and able to consult with clients on a flexible schedule in almost any location, my office offers counseling and advice on a wide array of legal matters.

Finding the right attorney to assist you with your case or issue can be an overwhelming experience. The attorney you select should be able to tell your story in a compelling manner. To tell your story effectively, your attorney needs to know your story–and know it well. Rembember, a good lawyer will arm you with clear and objective advice and enable you to control your own representation.. General practice (or a general law practice) typically encompasses a broad range of practice areas–many of which often overlap. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, I practice in not only several geographic but also subject matters areas. In other words, I do not not limit my law practice to one particular jurisdiction or one particular area of law. This is very common among solo practitioners. Flexibility is a benchmark and a benefit that a solo practitioner can provide.. Since general practice encompasses such a broad range of possible situations, there is no single expected outcome. If you retain me to draft or review a common document, you can expect a legally binding document whose terms you can understand. If you retain me to represent you on more complicated matters, you should expect that I will expertly represent you and zealously advocate on your behalf. No attorney can guarantee that you will win your case, however, having an attorney that knows the law and the courtroom puts you in the best position for positive outcomes.. For these reasons, a general practice attorney can represent you in court, draft and review documents, and be your advocate in negotiations. In other words, a general practice attorney is useful for many common issues that people confront regularly. Have confidence that I will refer you to another attorney if I believe you need counsel better equipped to expertly represent your interests.. Please reach out if you have questions or simply wish to schedule an initial consultation. I may be able to provide you with a broad picture of the options and consequences you are confronted with.
