Top best E Lawyers in ZIP 94602 | 27 available

My practice with individual clients is limited to consensual dispute resolution (settlement) of family law disputes (divorce, separation, premarital agreements), without going to court and without the intervention of third party decision makers. Such processes include working in Collaborative Practice, as Settlement Counsel and as a consulting attorney for a client in mediation.. I also serve couples and families by helping them to resolve their own disputes in private and on their own terms by acting as a neutral mediator.. I help people to reach fair and equitable resolutions that respect the needs of both parents and the needs of their children. I believe that people should have every opportunity to craft their own solutions when their family undergoes a transition.  In my experience, this leads to better results and minimizes the emotional anf financial damage that can occur in a hostile and adversarial separation and divorce.

I am a consumer bankruptcy attorney.  I generally represent debtors and small creditors.  I meet with each potential client personally and discuss their individual situation.  Not everyone needs or should file a bankruptcy.  It is important to review all the possiblities for each persons situation.  A client who consults with me leaves knowing what all of his or her options are and the pros and cons of each option.  I believe that knowledge and understanding is the beginning of change.  Changing their financial situation is what every client wants when they consult with a bankruptcy attorney.. I want to work with people who want to get a fresh start and get an opportunity for a new beginning.  As I state in my at website at , "Bankruptcy is the Beginning Not the End".. I offer a free consultation, in my office, with me, personally.  I have 30 years of experience and I teach bankruptcy to other attorneys thorugh different State Bar approved programs.  I understand Bankruptcy Law and how to get the best result for each client I work with.  I will be honest and straight forward with each client.  If a client is not a good candidate for bankruptcy because there are other options, or because bankruptcy will cause more harm to the client than do them good, I will tell them.  If a bankruptcy will help, I will show them how and work with them throughout the process.. It is important that a client interview more than one bankrkuptcy attorney.  Find out how long they have been practicing, whether bankruptcy is their exclusive area of law, do they have a good reputation in the legal community, are they easy to talk to and did they help you understand the process.  But most of all do you like that attorney and do you believe the attorney has you best interests in mind.. There are a lot of bankruptcy attorneys out there to chose from.  Make sure you make a good choice.  I invite you to make an appointment with me for a free consultation.
