I attend continuing legal education on bankruptcy, family law, criminal law, and civil litigation.

The typical bankruptcy case requires an appointment to educate the client about the pros and cons of filing bankruptcy based on what they own and what they owe. I never pressure clients to file and will simply provide information to help them make an informed decision. Filing either a chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy generally requires one appearance in front of the bankruptcy trustee who examines the petition and client under oath. Sometimes an appearance in Federal Bankruptcy court is required. The typical Chapter 7 case is usually closed in under 6 months and the typical Chapter 13 case lasts three to five years. I always let the client know my full expectations for any case regardless of whether it involves bankruptcy, family law, criminal law or another area.

We also handle family law matters including simple divorce, separation agreements, property division, child custody and support, and spousal support. A simple divorce can often be accomplished without a court appearance. Custody, property division, and support issues often require several court appearances.

Prior to the creation of Stone & Witt, P.A., I worked at the Law offices of John T. Burns where I handled bankruptcy, criminal, and civil matters. The Law offices of John T. Burns has been serving Union County, NC, which includes Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Weddington, Matthews, Wesley Chapel, and Wadesboro for over 20 years.

Before joining the Law Offices of John T. Burns, I was a summer associate with Maloney & Meier, a criminal practice in Charlotte, NC, and the District Attorney's Office in Charlotte, NC. During law school, I had the opportunity to handle trials for the District Attorney's Office in Winston-Salem, NC, and intern for White & Crumpler, a leading law firm in Winston Salem, NC. Also, while at Wake Forest School at Law, I served as a research assistant for Judge James J. Brown. Since -- forming Stone & Witt, P.A., my practice consists of bankruptcy, family law, criminal law and general civil litigation.
