I'm a consumer protection attorney helping people get relief from debt, and clearing their credit reports of errors. I also pursue debt collectors who violate the law.

I have been fighting for the interests of regular people since I became a lawyer in 1996. In those first years, I represented employees in discrimination cases and tenants in lawsuits against landlords.

In response to the global financial crisis of 2008, I turned my focus toward consumers seeking debt relief in bankruptcy court, obtaining discharges of all kinds of debt and preventing foreclosures of their homes. I responded to the student loan debt crisis by helping borrowers get into affordable payment plans, and by litigating private student loan cases in court.

Now I use all courts to represent consumers facing debt and credit problems: California Superior Courts, Federal Disctrict Court, and Bankruptcy Court, whereever it is in the best interests of my clients. There is a federal statute and a California state statute protecting a consumer's right to a credit report free from errors, even if you have filed a bankruptcy petition.
