Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Such as an unexpected illness, job loss, or divorce and they get behind on their bills. Some people are able to settle their outstanding debt for less than what they owe. Others are better off filing for chapter 7 Bankruptcy and getting a fresh start.

Everyone deserves a second chance when they make a poor decision. An arrest for a criminal offense should not haunt someone for years if not the rest of their life. If you are charged with a criminal offense, it is vital that you hire an experienced attorney to defend your constitutional rights.

Divorce is never easy. If the parties can cooperate and come to a reasonable division of their assets they can save a lot of money and emotional strain and move on with their lives. If the parties have children, I always counsel my clients to keep the best interest of the child in mind when making decisions and not to use the children as a tool or weapon against the Ex.

Every agreement involving money should be in writing and sign by all the parties. A good contractual agreement will save all the parties time, money, and hurt feelings in the future. I can not count how many times major and expensive legal disputes could have been avoided if the parties would have spent a little time and money having a good contract drafted. It is easier to avoid a car crash that fix the car after the crash.
