In 1997, after graduating from Syracuse University College of Law, I was admitted to practice in Ohio. Initially, I became a public defender in the Hamilton County Public Defender’s office. While there, I became acutely aware of predatory lenders, buy-here-pay-here car lots that sell lemons for twice their value and people hit hard by unexpected loss of employment and other financial tragedies. I learned more about the world of unscrupulous employers paying off-the books and not paying overtime as required. Soon thereafter, I entered into private practice and began representing consumers in need.

My practice is focused on Chapter 7 and 13 Bankruptcy and employment matters. Prior to considering bankruptcy, my clients have made legitimate attempts to pay their debts or they have made reasonable settlement offers to their creditors. People do not take lightly the decision to seek discharge of their debts in Bankruptcy. I enjoy counseling my clients about the relief available under the law and helping a family look to a brighter future.

I have great respect for the struggles of business owners, most of which value the work of their employees and respect the protections the law provides them. When the employer instead takes advantage of workers, both the employee and their family suffer. When this happens, I enjoy protecting a worker’s rights.
