Why did I open my own law firm?
I started practicing law because I had a strong interest in helping people. I recognized early on in my law career that I could provide more efficient, cost effective and personalized representation to my clients if I were working in a small firm controlling my own case and client selection, fee structure and strategy. I still often draw on the wisdom of others I respect and worked with the large firms where I cut my teeth.
I wanted to provide personalized representation that provided value to the client. In the end, the success of my client is how I ultimately judge my success.

How to Choose a Florida Bankruptcy Attorney
Choosing the right bankruptcy attorney can be difficult.
This is a personal decision, and your choice can make a significant impact on the outcome of your case, including what debts you are able to discharge, the continuation of your business, what property is protected and how you are able to rebuild your finances and credit after bankruptcy.
Most often, people choose to work with a legal professional who has experience and a track record of success in the particular field. Other factors, such as the location of the office, the specific services the firm provides, the cost, and the level of customer service will all affect a debtor’s final decision of which bankruptcy attorney to use.
Most law firms throughout the South Florida area will offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case, the firm’s services and how they can assist you with your particular matter. We highly recommend that you talk to more than one attorney or firm about your options so you can compare and make a better final decision about your legal counsel.
