FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Fair and Flexible! In most cases I charge a flat fee and am open to working out a payment plan. While there are fixed costs that I cannot negotiate, such as the court's filing fees, I'm open to help my clients tailor their fees and payment arrangements to something that works with their finances. I'm committed to creating a feasible and reasonable payment arrangement that will enable a new client to have an experienced and qualified attorney, such as myself, help them through a very important process.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process begins with a consultation at no upfront cost to the potential client. The consultation can either be done by phone or in person. We'll take the time to confidentially discuss a potential client's situation, goals, and identify various strategies to help them obtain the debt relief they need. We'll formalize the attorney-client relationship if the potential client wants to proceed with representation. During that time we'll discuss our mutual responsibilities to one another, fees/costs, and we'll also work out a payment arrangement if it is necessary for the new client.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m always staying current by way of reading up on bankruptcy developments (legislatively/judicially) as well as taking continuing education courses. I'm a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, the Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys Associations, and the James T. King Bankruptcy American Inn of Court.
