I focused on Public Interest Law in Law School. I was very happy working at the Indian Child Welfare Law Center as my first job after law school, but I could not pay the bills on a Public Interest Salary once my wife and I started a Family. I fell into debt collection for a few years. While the debt collection practice was never a good fit for me, it did provide me with a unique perspective and insight into the problems of people dealing with debt and debt collectors. I started my own firm helping people with debt on April 15, 2009. I am much happier on this side because I can help people. I can help people file bankrupcy for a reasonable fee. If bankruptcy is not the right option, I can defend debt collector lawsuits, and negotiate with creditors. If debt collectors violate the FDCPA, I will sue them.

I went to Paul with questions about a credit card garnishment from Discover Card. He was very helpful in sorting through all the paperwork I had received, and explained my situation and options to resolve it. I was impressed by his knowledge of the garnishment laws and made me very comfortable to e...
"Paul brings a wealth of knowledge and real world skills to his bankruptcy and debt practice. He knows how to advise people in tough financial situations with a combination of legal skill and compassion."
