About Jeffrey
Biography
My practice is exclusively focused on consumer bankruptcy. We offer free consulations to anyone who thinks they may need our services. We are not a bankruptcy mill. We are extremely selective in the type of bankruptcy cases we take. Our focus is on consumers. We do not take business cases nor do we ever represent creditors. I try hard to find ways for people to avoid bankruptcy when we can. The reason I do this is because when a person leaves my office I want them to know that I have been 100 percent honest with them and have given them what I believe to be the best legal advice. I hope that when someone meets with me and we find a way for them to avoid filing.......I hope that person will send me referrals. Almost half of my clients come to my office through referrals. When we file a case, my staff treats our clients with care and respect. I personally review and personally file every case that is filed in my office. I personally attend all chapter 13 meeting of creditors and all confirmation hearings. I hire other attorneys to attend the Chapter 7 meeting of creditors because it is not possible for me to do so with my schedule.
