About Kim
Biography
I enjoy oudoor activities with my family when I am not at work. Reading and watching movies round out my time outside of the office.
I offer a sensitive, personalized approach to bankruptcy. I want clients to understand their rights and how to rebuild their credit after bankruptcy. I can schedule evening and weekend appointments when a client needs them.
Bankruptcy can help you stop circuit court actions and garnishments.
Chapter 13 cases can help you save your home from foreclosure.
Chapter 7 can help you with credit cards, car deficiencies and medical bills.
