I regularly attend continuing education legal seminars and exceed the minimum requirements for my profession.

A typical case would involve a homeowner behind on mortgage payments who wants to save a house from foreclosure. In a Chapter 13, we enable the client to make regular payments again, plus a small monthly payment to catch up the arrearage on the mortgage, thus saving the real estate. This also discharges all unsecured debt such as that of credit cards and medical bills.

There are often large debts after a divorce or failed business. Through Chapter 7 or 13, we can discharge the debts and give the client a fresh start without the large debt, while keeping assets.

We often help people with rental real estate or a business that needs reorganization to survive. This is usually a Chapter 11 case. Not many lawyers do Chapter 11 for individuals due to its new and difficult nature, but it is a handy tool for this purpose.

I have been a lawyer for 28 years. I have always helped people protect their rights in criminal and traffic cases.

Our lawyers focus on eliminating debt for our clients, but also help them keep as many of their assets as possible. Most people keep their house, car and personal property while eliminating credit card debt, medical bills, and other unsecured debt. We can save houses from foreclosure and cars from repossession, as well as stopping garnishments.

I have been a lawyer since 1980 with private practice law firms. I have practiced criminal and divorce law, as well as real estate and many other types of law.

Depending on the type of case, most bankruptcies are fixed fee cases, so the client knows up front how much will be charged.

If needed, $225 per hour.

Generally, we can give a free consultation for about 10 to 15 minutes on the phone to answer questions and give general options, prices etc.

We get $150 for our office consultation which applies to the fee if we go forward with a fixed fee case.
