We know times are tough. Whether you’re an hourly or salaried employee, paid on commission, a self-employed small business owner or a working professional, the pressure and stress that comes with creditor harassment, telephone calls, threatening letters and lawsuits is overwhelming and can be emotionally crippling.  If you’re already suffering physically and mentally due to your injuries or due to financial problems because of layoffs, unemployment, divorce, sudden illnesses, or injuries and disability from the negligence of others, you need a legal professional to make an informed analysis of the problems, give you honest answers about your options and provide diligent, loyal representation.  Many of our clients have tried and failed to resolve problems on their own and ended up frustrated by aggressive settlement tactics and disappointed after unsuccessful debt consolidation and loan modification efforts.  It’s almost never too late to get qualified legal advice and get back on track to recovery.  Dealing with your losses and debts successfully depends more than anything else on having an experienced attorney. We’re not beginners or unlicensed document preparers or paralegals. We pursue every avenue to get you the best result possible and every benefit and advantage available under the law.  If it’s a bankruptcy matter, whether it’s a personal bankruptcy or business bankruptcy, in many cases you can keep all your property, stop creditors from contacting family and your employer, and you might even adjust and eliminate home equity lines of credit and second mortgages against your real estate.  In personal injury matters, it’s important that your attorney understand how insurance companies and the government work with medical benefits and exhaust every source of additional coverage, not just settle for the minimum limits most negligent drivers carry. Your attorney needs to know how to overcome obstacles, not just spot them.  We know it’s impossible to restore our clients to perfect physical and financial health, but we’ll promise to do everything within the law to help restore your dignity and peace of mind.  When you leave our offices, we want to see you make an overall fresh start and we’re dedicated to making that happen.

The clients that come to me do so during a difficult time in their lives and need help. Dealing with financial problems is stressful. Creditor and collection agency harassment can be disturbing and can lead you to make decisions that are not in your best interests. As an experienced Arizona bankruptcy attorney, I have helped many clients find peace of mind that they deserve and I have done so with compassion and one-on-one help and advice.. My philosophy is simple, I use empathy and experience to help my clients find relief from debt, to find peace of mind. I personally help all my clients. I do all consultations, all analyses of a client’s case, basically all work necessary to help a client find that peace of mind that he/she deserves.. The logo, A Lawyer Who Cares™, is not just a logo; I do care about the success of client’s case and work to help them achieve success in an area of the law that, at times, can be daunting, confusing and frightening.
