After several years practicing in international litigation and arbitration for corporate clients, I felt compelled to return to my original passion for the law: consumer protection. Bankruptcy is the most effective and powerful consumer protection available, so it was an obvious choice for my area of legal practice..

While Bankruptcy is a relatively inexpensive and straightforward process – as legal processes go – it is not the easy way out.  It takes a great deal of introspection and personal responsibility for an individual to identify (and accept) their financial predicament and to take the appropriate steps to remedy the underlying issues. I am always impressed with my clients’ gumption and I genuinely appreciate the effort it takes them to have the initial consultation.  I always treat them with the respect they deserve, and offer the empathy no one else will give.. When life deals you one of these financial blows and you think there is just no way out, please call me so I can give you some options.  Don't let your fear of the unknown - or the psychological torture of debt collectors - get the better of you.
