I generally average 1 to 2 hours per week attending continuing education courses in bankruptcy or related legal topics.

I frequently consult with both print and radio news papers/shows. Most recently I was contacted by and consulted with reporters from the Duke University Newspaper with regard to the impact of former district attorney, Mike Nifong's, recent Chapter 7 filing.

I have personally handled hundreds of Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, wiping out millions of dollars in debts for my clients. Since taking on my first case, I have only experienced one case in which the debtors did not receive a discharge.

My firm was founded in 1995 with the goal of providing competent, low cost, legal services to the general public. All in an atmosphere that was intended to be more cordial and casual than the norm. As the years progressed, I slowly limited the areas in which we practice and since 2007, our only focus has been on helping financially struggling individuals and families get a fresh start, usually through the relief available under Chapters 7 or 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

I have been a practicing attorney for 15 plus years. Prior to obtaining my license in 1995, I worked as a clerk or paralegal for a variety of attorneys, the last of whom became a judge and closed her practice at the same time I passed the bar exam.

I volunteer as an arbitrator/mediator and provide free legal advice to the indigent through several civic and religious organizations.

The majority of our cases are done on a fixed fee basis. Our standard fee for a single individual, wager earner, under median income, with no unusual circumstances is $1,300 plus costs. Costs generally run $30 for a credit report and $299 for the court's filing fee. Payment arrangements/plans can usually be made. With a small retainer, you can make me your attorney. Thereafter, you can refer all your creditors to us, getting them off your back while you're saving up the balance of your fee.

While our fee is among the lowest in the County, what really makes us the best deal in town is the unparalleled degree of service you will receive relative to the cost. Where most offices require you to fill out lengthy questionnaires which will take hours, sometimes days to complete, here you will sit down with me and we will do the majority of the paperwork together. When you have questions, I will answer them. I will attend all hearings with you and thoroughly brief you beforehand. I honestly believe you will not find another firm or attorney who will provide the same service for less money.

$240.
