For 27 years, I have concentrated my legal career helping people obtain relief from their bills, saving their homes from foreclosure, and helping people get their life back on track. If you are tired of not being able to meet your financial needs and having bill collectors calling endlessly, I can help you find a solution. I have helped many, many Rhode Islanders and Massachusetts residents reduce or eliminate credit card bills, medical bills, keep their cars and stay in their homes. Whatever situation you are in I have probably dealt with it dozens of times. Don't let the black cloud of overdue bills remain any longer, get a fresh start!
I help residents in all Rhode Island communities including Providence, Warwick, Cranston, East Greenwich, Pawtucket, Lincoln, North Kingstown and Coventy deal with debt collectors by filing for Chapter 7 protection. Once you start working with me you will no longer be getting debt collection phone calls at home, at work or on your cell phone. I handle all the debt collection companies so you don’t have to! You can feel free to send me an email or call if you have questions you would like to ask. All conversations are confidential and private.
