One of the best lawyers!
Going in I was very apprehensive, I don't trust the whole court system easily.

Wanda, I thank you so very much for your praise and positive comments. You bring up how easy it is today to do Bankruptcy with Zoom, Wattsapp or Facetime meetings and the ability to file a case with a lawyer and not have to risk coming in to the Court or the office and, as it is currently being done, having your hearings by telephone with the Court and the Trustee.
