Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

It's hard to choose. But perhaps from my client's perspective, as she was the most happy in the last year, was we were able to get not only get rid of all her debts, keep all the equity in her home (approximately $150k), get the trustee to abandon from seeking to collect any other property and get her second mortgage who wasn't paid in over several years, to resume payments, defer interest and MATCH 100% of the payments she makes in the next 12 months. Her equity is protected and she has the opportunity to prevent any future foreclosure, while wiping away about $50,000 in other credit card, personal loans and start off fresh again.

How did you build a successful practice?

Listen to my clients and find out what makes their lives easier. Giving them options to come in person and meet me directly or technology to automate and streamline things for them. I free up as much of my time as possible to communicate with my clients and educate them. For years, it's been word of mouth and recommendation.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

A lawyer shouldn't push their clients one way or the other. I pride myself on not putting my clients in a position of any obligation, even to retain me. I rather they have the right education and information on their issues. A lawyer should always look be as cost effective for the client as possible.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Every bankruptcy trustee and every judge is different. They have things they want to be presented in certain manners. Knowing those things can save time and save from mistakes.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

I provide free 30 minutes of consultation and document review to give them a legal opinion of their available options and an opportunity to discuss what those options entails. I will consider my client's restrictions, resources and concerns to tailor options specifically for them.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

I need their phone number and email. A lot of times I can text or even email simple intake forms that can do on their phone. It gives me a snapshot of what options they have and what information they want to convey and I can hit a phone call running already knowing what issues I may need to discuss with them.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I can be reached directly via email, phone, text and I am responsive and make myself available to answer my client's questions.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

When I client get breathe and focus on their life, while I am handling the things that stress them out. As a bankruptcy and divorce attorney, I will handle the hard parts with the court and streamline the process to make it as smooth for them as possible.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

Love to hike and run. Keeping myself in shape physically brings mental well-being.

Are you involved in your community?

I was on the board for Project Motivate, Inc. as well as a mentor. Project Motivate provides free mentoring services for at-risk youths in the Orange County community.
