Practice areas
What do you own, and what do you owe? If you rent instead of own, if you don't have much liquid cash and if your income is modest, a quick and inexpensive Chapter 7 may discharge your debts and give you the fresh start you deserve.
16 years
To successfully defend your home against foreclosure you MUST have an experienced attorney on your team right from the start. DON'T wait until you've unknowingly missed deadlines and squandered opportunities that could cost you your home!
16 years
Chapter 13's are often used to stop foreclosure sales and modify residential mortgage loans, but if you don't qualify for a Chapter 7, they can also be used to pay down credit card debt using a five-year interest-free repayment plan.
16 years
Chapter 11's for small businesses and individuals are intrusive and expensive, but the reorganizational tools they offer are far more powerful than those offered in other chapters. If you think you're in Chapter 11 territory, call me and let's talk!

I endorse this lawyer without hesitation. Phillip is an honest, smart, and compassionate attorney with whom I've known and worked with on the creditor's side for many years. He is very well respected by the Judges he appears in front of and by his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in resolving problems with great care and efficiency. Now that he's doing "debtor"work, his clients will be well served by his vast knowledge and experience on the "other side". Phillip is the perfect blend of a very kind and approachable attorney as well as a zealous advocate on behalf of his clients. His ethics are of the highest quality and I'm proud to see of his continued success.
