She is a very clever and creative attorney who will always first look for solutions to a client's credit problems to avoid bankruptcy. If she decides that a client needs to file bankruptcy, you can trust that; she will aggressively defend her client's exempt assets and make sure that they survive the bankruptcy process with self respect and dignity. If you are considering bankruptcy you need to talk with Sheila!"
