I filed my first MN Bankruptcy case in February, 1983. In the time since then, I have filed thousands more. I have the knowledge and expertise to resolve any debt problems very quickly and easily.
I understand the financial pressures my clients face because I experienced these same pressures growing up. I will make sure your case gets filed within days, not weeks, allowing you to immediately get on the road to a debt-free life again!
I can relate to the stress debt can cause. I have the solution to relieve your stress and get you back on solid ground. The biggest regret most of my clients have is waiting too long.
Helping people is my passion! I love the smile I get to see on my clients faces when they're finally debt free! Let me know how I can help.
I like helping people. Through my bankruptcy practice, I have helped hundreds of clients—individuals, families, and business owners—take back financial control of their lives and get the fresh start that they need.
Solving problems and helping people, that is what lawyers do, and I am so grateful that clients allow me the opportunity to help them.
Seeing the impact that unplanned debt can have on individuals first-hand, and learning the realities of a complex legal system, led me to pursue a career where I could help people get a fresh start.
For me, one of the greatest joys of being a bankruptcy attorney is seeing the look on my client’s face after the initial consultation, when they typically realize their burden can be lifted.
I want to break the bad stigma around bankruptcy! Money and debt can be completely overwhelming, but filing bankruptcy should not be!
I understand that individuals considering bankruptcy are usually in a difficult point in their life. I want to be able to assist individuals with this process so they can reclaim a part of their life.
I love practicing bankruptcy law because I provide a service that helps clients improve their lives. People come to us seeking assistance and we work hard to find solutions to their financial situations.
