I represent consumers and small business owners in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, including assistance in removing Judicial Liens. I also have experience in Adversary Proceedings, including determination of dischargeability of debts. Other areas of my practice include Social Security Disability, Estate Planning, Elder Law, Guardianship and Conservatorships, Personal Injury and Real Estate conveyancing and Title Searches.

My practice as a solo attorney began on April 13, 1983. Since that time I have been involved in representing consumers and small business owners in bankruptcy. I have a practice that includes many areas of law and therefore I am well positioned to advise clients on issues concerning many aspects of their legal situation.

I began my legal career as an associate running the Houlton Office of the Presque Isle, Maine firm of Stewart, Griffiths and Quigley. I became a partner there in 1979 and continued in that capacity until the firm's dissolution in April, 1983.

BV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell. I perform pro bono work at the request of the Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project and work at reduced rates at the request of Legal Services for the Elderly. I am on the County Open Golf Tournament Committee and served as a Director of the Aroostook Mental Health Center from 1979 through 1999.

My fees for representing consumers or small business owners in bankruptcy vary with the number of creditors, the amount of property, and the potential complications of the case. Including filing fees, I have done simple cases for $1,200 (Sole income Social Security, only personal property, and 5 or fewer creditors). The usual fee for a consumer bankruptcy is $2,299, including the filing fee. I often give a discount of 25% for consumers age 65 or over.

$135.

The initial consultation is included in the final fee. If the client elects not to file, there is no charge for the first 60 minutes of initial consultation.

I will not actually file the case until the full amount of the agreed upon fee is paid. Once an advance of 20-25% of the total fee is provided, I will take calls from creditors.
