I attend continuing legal education seminars on bankruptcy and commercial litigation issues.

I am proud of the opportunity I had to represent a young man with cerebral palsy, who was also an amputee, who worked as a stock clerk in a grocery store. Due to his health problems, he experienced several periods where he was out of work for a few months at a time. This caused him to fall behind on credit cards and medical bills. When the bill collectors refused to work with him, we filed for protection under Chapter 7 and got the debts discharged. It was gratifying to help him get a fresh start so that he could begin to rebuild his finances.

I am also proud of the work I did for a bankruptcy trustee who wanted to sue a neurosurgeon who had filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The trustee wanted to get an order from the court which would deny the doctor's discharge due to fraud, and to recover money he had fraudulently transferred to a family member before filing his bankruptcy. After a trial, the judge ruled in our favor on both matters. The result was gratifying because the few who commit bankruptcy fraud make it harder on the majority of honest people who need bankruptcy protection.

Bankruptcies are done on a flat fee basis. Attorney fees for the typical individual Chapter 7 are $1,500 and are $3,000 for Chapter 13. Fees may be paid in installments, but for Chapter 7 cases, all fees must be paid before the bankruptcy is filed.

If the client requests representation for a matter not covered by the bankruptcy flat fee, the hourly rate is $250.

The bankruptcy consultation is at no charge, and usually lasts 30 minutes to one hour.

I don't have a typical retainer. Some clients pay the full fee with the retainer agreement, while others need payment plans.
