Hi!. My name is Terri Running.  Helping people with debt problems is my passion.  I actually used to help people incur debt ... but in my defense that was back in the days when banks actually helped people!. While attending college, I worked at a bank.  I started as a filing clerk (I remember teling my boss that trained monkeys could do that job!), then as a proof machine operator, bookkeeper, and drive up teller.  When I graduated college, I worked as an installment lender, then as a mortgage lender, and finally as a commercial lender. My last banking job was "work-out specialist."  I worked with lawyers and spent time in court, which motivated me to quit a perfectly good job to attend law school!. I started this firm 14 years ago.  We love what we do, and take pride in having compassion for our clients, listening to thier goals, and helping them reach those goals when feasible.  If you need help with your financial issues, give us a call. We've got solutions.

I understand that bankruptcy and debt negotiation can be scary, but I can help improve your financial situation, guide you throughout the entire process, and help you achieve a financial fresh start.
