To be a really good bankruptcy lawyer, not only do you have to learn a lot about one specific
area of law, but you must have a good grasp of other areas like real estate, wills, mortgages, divorce/family law, criminal,
etc. Every day is filled with clients with their own unique situation. You have to understand
people, be sympathetic to their situation, but be able to lead them through a difficult time with good legal advice, dignity
and respect. My twenty+ years of experience give me a foundation of knowlege which helps me help my clients go
through bankrutcy as smoothly as possible.
I believe in educating my clients about the law so they understand what bankruptcy is, how it works, and
why it will help them.
I didn't set out to be a bankruptcy lawyer. I have a degree in architecture, and I went to law school
with the intent to be a contruction/development lawyer. However I was lucky enough to be hired by a bankruptcy
judge in 1988 and found bankruptcy law to be a great fit for me.
I worked for some excellent bankruptcy lawyers before opening my own practice in 1993. I handled
Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, worked for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy Trustee, but I liked representing consumers and small businesses
in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 the best. I love the interaction with my clients and making a difference in their lives.
