What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
Clients should read about bankruptcy law so they can ask questions and weigh their alternatives.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Clients are welcome to make suggestions regarding all documents prepared by this office.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
I am unwilling to consider a client as co-counsel for ethical reasons. Absolute control of the case is lost when another interjects on or participates in the legal game plan.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
My father was a lawyer. My brother-in-law was a lawyer. I was brought up in a family with constant discussion of the law. My father founded a firm which is now the second largest in North Carolina.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I served with the US Army in Vietnam from 1969-1970, and was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious achievement in Vietnam.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
I gain particular satisfaction in helping consumers who find themselves in debt for reasons beyond their control. I enjoy seeing them back on their feet.
What do you like best about your career?
I enjoy watching clients as they throw off burdens of debt and resume living.
