Hello. Welcome to Bankruptcy Soapbox, the less formal and more opinionated companion to Bankruptcy In Brief.
I’ve written nearly every piece on these sites to give the public a better understanding of bankruptcy law and the personal finance issues that underlie family financial health. And I corral professional friends to add their expertise to the discussion.
I’ve been practicing bankruptcy law in the Silicon Valley since 1980, having started my own firm directly out of law school at Hastings College of Law, now called University of California School of Law San Francisco.
I love the opportunity that bankruptcy law gives me to help people in financial distress get control of their finances and move forward to meet their goals. Bankruptcy is such a powerful tool that usually produces quick and certain relief from most debts.
I’ve been a certified bankruptcy specialist since 1996, and currently serve on the Board of the NACTT Academy. I’m a former member of the California State Bar’s Bankruptcy Law Advisory Board.
Born in California’s Central Valley, I graduated from Stanford University in political science and worked in politics and media before returning to law school
I’m privileged to share my experience and approach to bankruptcy with lawyer groups across the country.
