About Teri
Biography
I proudly help consumers obtain bankruptcy relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. I have been practicing law since 1992 and my practice is limited to bankruptcy to ensure that I provide only the very best representation to my clients. I strive to be compassionate and sensitive to the many issues and emotions faced by my clients in order to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. I personally handle each and every aspect of each and every case, and all clients deal with me and only me throughout the entire process. No paralegals or secretaries. Providing this one-on-one, personalized, attentive service is my first priority, and this includes being available by telephone, email and text to clients seven days per week.
