As an experienced Orange County Bankruptcy Lawyer, I understand that financial problems can happen to good people who work hard.  I am dedicated to helping those people save their homes, get out from under crippling debt and get back on their feet by offering solutions, not just a quick fix.

Because bankruptcy is a complex subject, I prefer to limit matters to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases in which I represent debtors and sometimes creditors. As I have grown older in this practice (28 years), I have developed the ability to reassure my debtor clients beginning with our first conversation. Since I do all the work of analysis and petition preparation, clients talk only to me. I am thus able to help people go from trauma to a positive state of mind so that they can become, once again, the contributing members of society they always knew they were. It is this which makes this practice rewarding.

As a skilled Orange County Bankruptcy Lawyer, I provide superb legal representation to individuals, families and small businesses in Newport Beach, throughout Orange County and Southern California.  Although my office is situated directly on the Newport Channel in Newport Beach, I travel to all the Southland bankruptcy courts: Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Woodland Hills, Riverside and San Diego. I offer solutions in the following practice areas:

• New Bankruptcy Laws
• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
• Foreclosure
• Debt Negotiation

My office is a solo practice. I answer the phone, counsel clients, analyze the situation, prepare the bankruptcy petition, deal with creditors and represent the debtor at the creditors meeting. I also do everything else a case may require. The client deals only with me, no secretary, paralegal or associate. I do all the work. I am therefore more familiar with my cases than many other practitioners are with theirs.

Practicing bankruptcy law since 1979, I am one of the first certified bankruptcy specialists, earning my specialization in the first class of specialists in 1994. I had the privilege of serving on the Advisory Commission to the State Bar's Board of Legal Specialization for bankruptcy law for four years.
