I was born and raised in the Midwest, Cedar Rapids, Iowa to be exact. While growing up, athletics were my biggest interest. This continued through high school and college. I attended college on a football scholarship, and was also on the wrestling team. While still in high school I won the Iowa Golden Gloves championship in the heavyweight division.. After college I started my business and professional career as a real estate salesperson and broker. This morphed into a construction business where, as a general contractor, building single family and multi-family projects.. I attended law school while in my 30s. I developed an interest in bankruptcy law right from the start.After graduating from law school, with honors, I relocated to Los Angeles, and began my legal career with a firm in Westwood, Saltzburg, Ray & Bergman. After three four-terms at three firms, I started my own firm in 1999. Except for a short detour with a firm from 2015 until June of 2019, I have had my own practice ever since.. I am married and have two sons who are officers in the United States Army. I also have an 18-year old daughter who is finishing high school and looking toward the next step.. My interest in bankruptcy and commercial law, including bankruptcy litigation and business and real estate litigation, is as strong now as when I started. I enjoy it, a lot.

I take pride in my practice and I really enjoy helping my clients through an unfamiliar road. I consider myself a tourguide or a counselor, guiding them and keeping them on the safe path, keeping their assets safe,  keeping the assets of their family safe, and making sure that life on the other side of bankruptcy is brighter. Client satisfaction is my number one priority. I know that my clients are going through a tough time and I want to make the process as painless as possible.

I came out of school during the Recession of 2018. Like many folks here, I was saddled with student loan debt and there weren't many jobs to be had. Over the last 11 years, the economy has gotten better but many folks still can't seem to get ahead. If you've been living off credit cards and find it hard to get by now, bankruptcy may be your best solution to move forward with your life. I formed Jumpstart Bankruptcy to help folks like you move forward with your dreams again.
