How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?
Bankruptcy yields the quickest, most comprehensive relief for people in distress when compared to other areas of the law. It is relatively inexpensive and offers immediate relief and is very satisfying on a professional level.
What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I think it's highly advisable. Part of our mission is to educate the public as to its rights under bankruptcy.
Is your firm willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes.
Is your firm willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
No. Bankruptcy attorneys are not allowed to coach people without putting their name on the representation.
