About

I have been practicing bankruptcy law since 1993 when I first started clerking for the Honorable Randolph Baxter, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge. As a law clerk I was able to experience the judge's persepctive of each case. I then started my own practice and quickly earned an appointment to the Cleveland panel of chapter 7 trustees. I handle cases as a bankruptcy trustee, and I represent individuals who need financial assistance, including filing for chapter 7 and chapter 13 protection. I have a unique perspective of the practice from all sides of each matter which helps me quickly assess the strengths and weaknesses of each person's situation. I then work hand in hand with my clients to develop the best strategy for obtaining relief for their financial problems.
