I attend continuing legal education seminars on topics of Bankruptcy and Alternative Dispute Resolution. I generally exceed the required number of hours and prefer courses that are taught in person with a live instructor.

Case One:

Gentleman came into the office to discuss taking out a second mortgage on his home to pay off some debt. After looking at what he had and what his situation was, it was evident that he needed bankruptcy help and that the second mortgage would be a temporary stop gap. He told me that he had thought about bankruptcy, but that his wife was a proud individual and that she would not consider bankruptcy. We spoke for an hour or so about bankruptcy and that there is no shame in bankruptcy and that no one needed to know. I suggested that his wife come in and we could discuss the matter. His wife came in a few days later and we discussed bankruptcy and the second mortgage. After laying out their options, I was able make the couple understand that bankruptcy was the best option.

I then referred them to a friend that did bankruptcy, I was not doing bankruptcy at the time, I was practicing almost exclusively in residential real estate. The gentleman called back a few days later saying how much he appreciated the time and that they were going forward with bankruptcy. He was very appreciative with the help and advice.

Case Two.

We received a call from an individual that had been volunteering at a local hospital. She stated that a person in the hospital that she had been seeing was sick and would be needing surgery and that he did not have a will, power of attorney, or healthcare directive. He was concerned should something happen during surgery or if he didn't make it, what would happen to his belongings and assets. The situation was also troubling because his surgery was in a day. I went to the hospital that day and met with the gentlemen. He was very pleased that I would come out and meet him in the hospital. I went back to the office and drafted the documents and then took two paralegals back with me so that he could execute the documents prior to his surgery. As it turned out, all ended well and he was able to go forward without any more concern about his personal affairs.
