Questions & Answers

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

I saved my client's tax refund from the chapter 7 trustee. My client expected to receive over $5,000 from the IRS. He needed to file his case right away. We decided to assign to me part of the refund to cover attorney fees. We used exemptions to protect the balance of the refund. As a result, my client got to keep the entire refund.

How did you build a successful practice?

I charge a reasonable fee for my work. I like to stay in contact with clients with updates on their case. I respond quickly whenever my clients contact me.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients need a lawyer who is experienced in handling bankruptcy cases. Someone who handles client's case directly and does not delegate it to others. A lawyer who can explain the law clearly and simply.

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

Every bankruptcy court has its own set of rules. Knowledge of the rules can make a big difference for clients. Every bankruptcy court has a panel of trustees. An attorney who knows how to work with the trustee assigned to a case can make a big difference too.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

I can answer general questions about bankruptcy law with an initial phone call. But bankruptcy law is complex and requires an office interview. I need to get detailed information about my client's financial situation. Then I recommend bankruptcy or some other solution for them. Initial client interviews are free.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

I will ask the client about the kinds of debts she has and how much she earns per year.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I have thirty years' experience representing individuals and small businesses in bankruptcy court. I am licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

I like to make life better for my clients. They feel stress and anxiety when they arrive at my office the first time. They feel much better by the end of the first interview.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

I play classical piano and listen to a lot of music.

Are you involved in your community?

I am active with bankruptcy organizations with the Cincinnati Bar, Northern Kentucky Bar, National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, and Chapter 13 Trustees.
