For over 26 years I have been dedicated to helping people with financial problems get the relief they need through bankruptcy.   I have represented thousands of people in St. Louis and the surrounding areas in chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.   Helping people file bankruptcy, eliminate their debt, and save their homes, their cars, and their livlihoods is my passion.

I received my law degree, cum laude, from St. Louis University School of Law in 1984 and my undergraduate degree with honors from Valparaiso University in 1981.  I have been practicing bankruptcy law since before 1988.  From 2000 to 2014 I was a partner in a law firm that specialized in bankruptcy.   In 2014 I formed Baro Law Firm.   I am a frequent speaker and lecturer at bankruptcy seminars for the Missouri Bar and the U. S. Bankruptcy Court.   I am a member of the Missouri Bar, the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, and I am licensed to practice law in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.   I live and work in St. Louis, Missouri.
