Legal Philosophy
I believe in being polite but very persistent. Let my knowledge, experience
and enthusiastic approach to the law work for you!
Me and some colleagues at
the Bankruptcy Court Café
If you need to file for bankruptcy, I will work to discharge your debts
and help you retain all of your exempt property. Furthermore, I am happy to
give you advice on re-establishing your financial future! I've successfully
filed over 7,000 bankruptcies since 1995.
I feel fortunate to be able to work in a career that enables me to help
so many people! And (I can't deny) I am very proud of the good job I provide
to my clients!
People who have influence my legal career for the better
- My clients!
- Judge Ashland -- The late judge for whom I clerked as a student. He was such a nice
man!
- Judge Bufford -- Current bankruptcy judge who is very smart, and very fair. He has a
Ph.D. in Philosophy, as well as his legal education. Isn't that great!
- Jesse Dukeminier -- My late Property professor from law school. He was such an
amazing person. He had a natural knack for telling the truth without being offensive. And he was
such a unique individual -- a person of initiative and independence. I'm so lucky to have known
him. How I miss him!
- Sid Taylor -- My late father, to whom I owe my sense of humor and my sense of
justice. I really miss him too. He passed away recently. I have learned that people may die, but
the love we have for these people does not die with them.
- Dr. Ronald Ralbag -- A doctor whom I first met as a teenager, who provided me with
meaningful advice throughout the years.
- William Sleator -- The famed Young Adult author was my childhood idol. His books definitely
influenced me to become a person of independence and initiative. I was
thrilled when, as an adult, I made contact with Bill and we became friends!
