My law practice is concerned with protecting property. I offer representation in the areas of bankruptcy, estate planning and real estate financing. I have been a licensed attorney for close to twenty years. During my time in practice I have developed a well-balanced legal background that has logically brought me to the nature of my practice today: a comprehensive and rational approach to protecting one's assets.

When I began practicing bankruptcy law one of the first things I realized was that I did not want to take a band-aid approach in representing my clients. Bankruptcy is a difficult enough process for most people as it is. I didn't want my clients to feel stranded or abandoned once their bankruptcy was over. With that thought in mind, I began to develop other areas of practice that seemed to me to be a logical extension of what I was already doing. This way, if a client was ready and able to move on and, perhaps, buy a house then maybe I could help. Judging from the follow-up contact I have with my clients (and most people do keep in touch and let me know how they're doing), they are generally able to recover from their bankruptcies and get their fresh starts. Many people are ready to move on and buy a house, but oftentimes have nowhere to turn. I decided to become a licensed broker and develop contacts with lenders who offer loan programs developed for individuals who have filed bankruptcy or who have other credit issues that make buying a home difficult. My real estate clients began requesting living trusts and my practice took the form it is in presently.

I love what I do. I have tremendous respect and gratitude for my clients. I realize that for many people I am the first attorney they have ever had to hire. I strive to make the process, whether it's filing a bankruptcy, drafting a will or a trust, or financing a home, as comfortable and affordable as possible.

My office is in a convenient and relaxing neighborhood location where parking is free and easily accessible. I can have an interpreter available who is fluent in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese or Arabic. I offer free initial consultations. I am available evenings and weekends.
