Practice areas
There are advantages and disadvantages to a bankruptcy and it depends of the debt profile of the Client.
10 years, 25 cases
I defend homeowners from foreclosure and file collateral actions against lenders for violations of state and federal laws. I also file bankruptcies for homeowners in the proper cases and work towards other loss-mitigation options for homeowners during a foreclosure, such as modifications and deferments. I can also assist the homeowner in leaving the home on the most advantageous basis available either through a short-sale, deed-in-lieu, or simply, cash for keys.
11 years, 40 cases
Every contract has weak points. I find them and prosecute them to provide my clients with the most compensation available from the breaching party. If they allege you breached, I aggressively defend.
11 years, 10 cases
My experience in civil litigation general extends to equitable foreclosure defenses and collateral action concerning debt-collection and mortgage-servicing practices.

My goal in every personal injury case is to obtain the most amount of compensation for my client that the law allows.

I can help set-up your LLC, S-CORP, or other business entity for your business. I usually offer a low-flat rate depending on the complexity of the Client's circumstances. I also can defend or prosecute shareholder disputes, negotiate leases and other contract matters.

Most of the probate case I receive are ancillary to other actions, e.g. a wrongful death or death of a homeowner. However, I am proficient in the administration of a decedent's estate and will usually offer flat-rates to my Clients.
