I am a Dallas bankruptcy lawyer. I specialize in representing debtors in consumer bankruptcy cases. I like to think that my job is to help people with their financial problems, and in general I think my clients will tell you that their lives improve dramatically when our attorney-client relationship comes to an end. In many cases, after meeting a prospective client, I tell them not to file bankruptcy, or not to file bankruptcy yet. If I can point my clients to a solution that does not involve bankruptcy, I am happy to do so. My goal is to find the right solution to your financial problems.
Talking about financial problems is embarrassing and uncomfortable
It’s not for me, and I will try to make the process as easy for you as possible. I talk to people about their financial troubles every day. Nothing you say will shock me or make me think less of you. I don’t judge people. We all have problems in our lives, and we deal with them to the best of our ability. Please don’t get upset if I ask personal questions. I will have to ask you for a lot of information we have been taught by society to not talk about. It’s okay. I’m your lawyer!
Don’t be nervous
I’m just a regular person. I mow my own lawn, do my own dishes, and vacuum my own house. I sing (poorly) in the shower. I’m a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. I’m just like you. Some clients get nervous because they have never spoken to an attorney or been in a lawyer’s office. Don’t be nervous. When I was in law school, I learned how to present an argument in front of a judge. It was very scary. My professor told me that if I get nervous, to imagine them naked and I would feel better. Feel free to use this approach when meeting me. Just don’t tell me you are doing it.
I’m on your side
Lawyers are advocates for their clients. Some lawyers are an advocate because that’s their job. I’m an advocate for my clients because I feel passionate about helping people with their financial problems. Debt can be very stressful. Debt is a leading cause of divorce. Debt creates stress which can cause health problems. I want to help you better your quality of life by improving your financial future.
