FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When seeking out an attorney for a chapter 7 bankruptcy, always ask what the TOTAL FEE will be. It has become quite fashionable for some attorneys to quote you some very low fee to file your case. But you may still owe these firms $2000 to $3000 more AFTER YOUR CASE IS FILED!!! Don't be fooled. My total fee is frequently 33% or more less than what these firms charge. Give me a chance to earn your business. No misleading price gimmicks, just low total attorney's fees with an experienced attorney who cares about his clients.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, you and I sit down and have a conversation about your finances. I ask you questions, and you in turn can ask me questions. I have been told countless times that I am an excellent listener, and very adept at applying the complicated bankruptcy laws to your specific situation, so that you typically walk out of that first appointment with enough information to determine a course of action that will resolve your financial issues. I care about my clients, and it is obvious.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When you go to a law office, the first person that you sit down with to discuss your finances should always be an attorney. Insist on this. Some law firms use non-lawyers who actually seem more like high-pressure salesmen. If you are getting the hard-sell treatment, run--don't walk out of that office. You are not buying a used car, and you should not be pressured. At my office you will always meet with me. No pressure, no hard-sell--just a discussion about your specific situation.
