What I like best about my job

No other attorney can do more good for his client, more quickly, than a consumer bankruptcy attorney. When people come to see me, their financial problems have put them under a great deal of stress which may be impacting their job, marriage and ability to be a good parent. We can usually eliminate that stress almost immediately. When a bankruptcy petition is filed, the court enters an “automatic stay” which instantly shelters the client from collection calls, repossessions, foreclosure, wage garnishments and virtually all kinds of collection activity. Being able to provide this type of peace to a client is extremely gratifying.
