Personal Philosophy:

My main service areasinclude bankruptcy (Chapter 7 only) and debt defense. I am interested inhelping those clients who are struggling with harassment by collectors, and whomay be unaware that they can possibly take advantage of North Carolina'sconsumer friendly laws and sue the creditor.

I also help people planfor unforeseen events in their lives, as well as end of life planning. I havevisited many folks in their homes or in hospice to record their final desiresfor distribution of their personal belongings, which gives them peace of mind.
