Firm Focus and History

I have practiced law in Georgia as a solo practitioner for almost 20 years. I focus largely on consumer issues, in particular representing debtors in bankruptcy matters.

Our primary focus is on consumer debtor bankruptcy filings. We represent debtors in both chapters 7 and 13. We also represent clients in matters designed to keep them out of bankruptcy, particularly debt negotiation, garnishments and mortgage modifications.

Previous Employment Summary

I have been a solo practitioner for 20 years.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

Clients should always make an attempt to educate themselves on legal issues before consulting an attorney. As long as clients understand they are hiring me to be their attorney and not their "yes" person, clients' keen understanding of their legal issues can only serve as a benefit.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

I offer clients a free 30-minute consultation to discuss their legal issue in full. Often, this encompasses reviewing documents presented by clients, which I am more than glad to do it as long as it pertains to their case.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

I generally do not coach clients who wish to represent themselves.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

I have always enjoyed helping people, and practicing law focusing on consumer issues was a natural fit for me. My practice is almost entirely focused around helping individual clients with real life problems.

What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?

As a mother of two sons who both turned out to be lawyers, I have no shortage of legal minds in my family. There is no one experience that I can pinpoint as a turning point in making me become a lawyer. I always had an interest in the law, and it seemed like a natural career path for me.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

I receive far more joy from helping individuals than I would working in a big corporate environment. As such, I gravitated to consumer issues like bankruptcy, wills, small business incorporations, etc.

What do you like best about your career?

I like the appreciation from clients when I have resolved their legal issues to their full satisfaction.

Tell us about your law firm:

Peter Bricks is a member of the DC and Georgia bars and has experience in bankruptcy, probate, real estate and personal injury matters. He is a graduate of Georgia State University Law School and handles Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings.

What are your strengths and style?

I am known for my patience and ability to work well with a variety of personality types. My clients also like that I am accessible throughout the business day.

Personal Interests:

I like watching movies, reading books, and going to museums. I also enjoy traveling. My husband and I have been to over 20 countries.
