I have been in private practice for more than 10 years, My experience in representing clients facing hard financial times began in law school when I clerked at the Public Defender’s and Sen.

I enjoy helping others avoid the harrassment and pressure that debt collectors use to collect debts.  Bankruptcy is an option that can give relief where it is needed the most.  Peace of mind and the ability to either repay debts based upon a person's ability to pay, or wiping out debts in total, are tremendous tools.. No one enjoys filing for bankruptcy.  However, the biggest mistake that people make is waiting too long to investigate their options.  The sooner a person who is struggling with debt faces the facts and discovers their options, the more options that have and the more time they have to put strategies in place.. I am glad that I can serve the needs of the people in my community in this respect.
