Law Firm Overview

We solve credit and tax problems every day, through bankruptcy and alternatives. At this office you will find one experienced, knowledgeable lawyer and a small, competent staff. I will personally meet with you, answer your telephone calls, and help with financial problems and the stress they cause.

We have special expertise in tax matters. Many taxes are in fact dischargeable, but even bankruptcy attorneys are often not aware of the complex laws that let you accomplish it. We will do it right. We will not push you into a quick decision, but will help you consider all available alternatives to bankruptcy. If it becomes necessary to file a bankruptcy petition, you can be confident that your attorney is no novice or document preparer. We have helped hundreds of clients put their lives back together, since 1985. We can help you, too.
