Bankruptcy
Consumer bankruptcy matters.
WA, Jun 1990
Bar Number: 19548
FL, Jan 1980
Bar Number: 312754
All Florida and Washington State Courts. Federal: Western District of Washington and Middle District of Florida.
Washington State Bar Association, Florida Bar Association, and Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association.
I attend continuing legal education seminars on bankruptcy around the country.
I have been doing a lot of consumer bankruptcy cases for many years, but have never appealed any cases nor or there any reported cases with my name on them. My clients usually can't afford appeals.
One case that made the news while I was in Florida was Neider v. Summerbeach Resorts wherein we got an injunction against the resort which had built a driving range that ended at my clients' property. They were pelted with golf balls for a year or more. I convinced the judge to order that they move the tee area to the end by my clients' property and hit back toward the resort. Shortly after that, the resort bought my clients' property at a fairly hefty premium. I take care of my clients.

General practice and bankruptcy.
I have been actively practicing law since 1980.
I've been practicing law for 28 years so I don't think my previous employment is relevant since other than part-time jobs, I was in school before I started practicing law. I have always been self-employed as an attorney.
It is okay as far as it goes, but general knowledge does not always translate into good results in specific situations.
I am not willing to review documents prepared by clients.
I am not willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves.
For the challenge and the independence.
I worked my way through college by working in paper mills. I'm no ivory tower guy.
I like to help people and don't like to see them taken advantage of.
I am my own boss.
I am a solo practitioner and handle all matters personally.
Experience and patience.
Family, fishing, golf, pinball, and literature.
