My Practice
I focus my representation on matters related to:
- Personal bankruptcy - I handle all matters related to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions, from the initial filing through the final disposition. I prepare and file all documents required throughout the process and act as your advocate with creditors, the trustee and the bankruptcy court. I will help you determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, and will examine bankruptcy alternatives with you as well.
- Business law - I represent small businesses and small business owners in a broad range of legal matters, from the selection of an appropriate business form to support in transactional matters or litigation.
- Trusts and estates - I work with individuals and families to establish and implement effective plans for the disposition of property and the care of minor children in the event of death. I prepare all the documents necessary to put an estate plan in place, including simple wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills and advance medical directives.
