Bankruptcy matters provide me the opportunity to use my problem-solving and analytic skills to help people and companies solve their economic problems.
What Is Your Approach to Practicing Law?
My approach with every client is to apply common sense and practical solutions to help understand and solve the client's problems.
What Is Your Unique Contribution to Your Practice?
First of all, I have a substantial amount of practical experience in complex bankruptcy law. It is rare to encounter a bankruptcy problem that I have not already seen and solved before. Second, I strive to listen to my clients and fully understand the issues of each particular case. From that point on, my goals are, first, to have my client understand the issues, and second, for us to work together to arrive at a practical and cost-effective solution.
