I always exceed the required amount of continuing education hours. I attend seminars on Consumer Bankruptcy.
John Doe had been living paycheck to paycheck ever since his divorce 2 years ago. After he paid his child support and other bills, there was barely enough left over to pay the minimum amounts on his credit cards. His credit card debt totaled over $30,000. Then he lost his job. The only replacement job he could find paid much less than his previous one. There was no way he could pay his credit cards so they went into default. The credit card companies began calling him 10 times a day, even at work. He went to see me, Rich Reister, Bankruptcy Attorney, about his bleak situation. I analyzed his situation, told him he qualified for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and even set up a payment plan for the attorney fees. After gathering some more information and part of the attorney fees, I filed his Bankruptcy case. The harassing phone calls stopped. Four weeks after filing the case, John and I went to a hearing called a "Meeting of Creditors." I did most of the talking and held John's hand through the meeting. Sixty days after this meeting, I obtained a "Discharge Order" signed by the judge. This "Discharge Order" wiped out most of John's debt. I then gave John some tips on re-establishing his credit and even gave him the name of a mortgage broker so John could begin planning on buying his own home someday. I gave John a fresh start.

The focus is on helping consumers and small business get out of debt via Bankruptcy.
The firm was established in November of 2004 with the purpose of providing a client-friendly atmosphere where people could talk freely about their debt situation and decide if Bankruptcy is right for them.
I have owned my own law practice since I became licensed. Previous to that, I worked for other attorneys in the fields of Mass Tort Litigation and General Litigation.
Clients should educate themselves as much as possible.
I am willing to review documents prepared by clients, with the exception of Federally regulated Bankruptcy-related documents.
In my experience, I have found it much easier for the client and the attorney if the attorney handles the entire case.
I enjoy public speaking, leadership roles, and helping people.
I am a confident leader and an outgoing person. I love working with people.
I enjoy helping people get out of debt and start their life over financially. It is satisfying for me and for the client.
I enjoy watching families get back on their feet with my help. I also enjoy owning my own practice.
Clients will always have access to a lawyer (myself) at all times. During the preparation part of your case, you may receive emails and phone calls from my staff. They are friendly and easy to work with. All of their work is reviewed by me before filing.
I am passionate about Bankruptcy. I am friendly, outgoing, and have lots of energy. I pride myself on actually listening to my clients' problems (instead of assuming what the problems are) and on always being available for my clients.
Studying History and Politics, traveling, and spending time with family.
