Is Bankrupty Right for Me?

One of the most difficult questions I see for individuals and families who are struggling financially is how or when to file for bankruptcy.  I find that there simply is no substitute for an individual analysis of your particular situation.  There are many factors to consider, including not only solvency, but also property ownership, debt levels, ability to repay, exemption planning, precluding/disqualifying issues, and a variety of other factors that combine to give you a reliable basis on which to make your decision.

Divorce Counseling

     In recent months, I have developed an area of my practice specifically devoted to giving legal counsel to those couples contemplating divorce.  I find that many of the pre-divorce perceptions and expectations by my clients are often difficult, if not impossible, to meet, and that is because there are rarely any real winners in a divorce (of course, there are cases in which divorce is necessary, such as with spousal abuse, and these cases are the exception).  My goal is to help those who are contemplating divorce explore some of the legal and practical realities of splitting up their marriage and family, such as financial hardship (and often bankruptcy), custody disputes, legal fees, emotional trauma to the children, and many unsavory aspects of court litigation.
     If you, or someone you know, is contemplating divorce, give me a call and let's talk it over.  You may be surprised to find that the grass can often be quite brown on the other side of your marriage fence!

Welcome!

     Welcome to my blogspot!  My goal is to create a site that is not only informative but that also inspires and lifts the reader's views to a more elevated veiw of the law. 
     I am a firm believer that true principles are a sure guide, even in the most uncertain situations.  In law, it is no different.  Principles such as Honesty, Integrity, Humility, Generosity, Kindness, and Sincerity of Purpose can help not only attorneys, but also their clients as they seek to resolve their diffuculties through the legal process.
     I find that even in the most hostile of situations that principle centered actions always produce the best results.  My focus as a lawyer is to help people find innovative solutions to their problems by taking a principled centered approach, thus opening possibilities that would otherwise be lost to them.
     A Lawyer's true contribution lies not in his ability to argue, but in his ability to reason, and true reason must be based on true principles if the solutions are to endure.
     Please feel free to comment/post/contact me with any questions or ideas.  I look forward to your readership!
