I was born in Yerington Nevada in 1942.  I attended the local grammar, Junior High, and High Schools there, graduating in 1960.  While in high school, if I wasn’t participating in a school or sports activity, I either worked in my father’s grocery store or at one of the local farms or mines in the Valley.. I attended the University of Nevada, Reno Campus, graduating in January 1965.  In college, I was active in campus politics (Senior Class President), athletics (football), and a fraternity (Alpha Tan Omega).  I also had a part time job most of the time.  Additionally, I enrolled in the advanced ROTC program and, upon graduation I received a B.S. in Physical Education, a minor in business and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Field Artillery.. I entered active duty with the U. S. Army in April of 1965 and was honorably discharged as a Captain in August 1970.  I served in South Korea, Oklahoma, and South Vietnam.  My primary assignment during those years was as a commander of company-sized units.  In addition to the theater ribbons associated with duty in South Vietnam, I was awarded two Army Commendation medals and the Bronze Star.. Upon being discharged, I entered law school at Hastings College of the Law, University of California, which is located in San Francisco.  Three years later I graduated and moved to Las Vegas with my wife Judy, son Mitchell, and daughter Jennifer.  After graduation and before moving, I took, successfully, the California Bar Examination.. While in law school and for a year or so thereafter, I served in the US Army Reserves as a Unit Commander in San Francisco and Las Vegas.. In 1973 I went to work for the Clark County Public Defender’s Office as a law clerk and then as a deputy upon passing the Nevada Bar exam.  After a little over two and a half years the law firm of Bell, Leavitt and Green hired me.. After leaving Bell, Leavitt and Green, I worked briefly at a law firm called Swanson, Momot, and Burns.  Since 1979 I have been practicing as Thomas M.

I am an attorney, an Economics professor, and a software developer.. My practice today consists primarily of bankruptcy and business law, and the related fields, such as mortgage modification, short sales and debt settlement.. In addition to my law degree, I hold a Ph.D. in Economcis and Statistics (thus the references to "Doc" and "dochawk.".)  I taught at Penn State for five years before returning to Las Vegas.. While I handled bankruptcies prior to obtaining the Ph.D., and even wrote the in-house software used on them in the 1990s, I find the work today far more satisfying.  Today, most of the people and business I work with need the help because of something that has happened--job loss, employer bankrtupcy, and so forth.  Today, the debtor that simply spent without thinking is the exception, rather than the common case.
