About
Welcome to Debt Relief. I make it easy. I do it right.
I help people fix their debt problems. Often that means bankruptcy. But that’s not all it is. Sometimes it means defending a lawsuit, or getting a debt settled, or getting a mortgage modified, or credit repair, or helping someone with a money management system.
After you’ve done this a while, you learn that bankruptcy isn’t just people dodging responsibility. Bankruptcy changes lives. In a good way. I'm talking about a positive impact on lives that could really use a little positive impact. Lives damaged by unemployment, divorce, or illness. Lives that need a second chance to get it right. When I began to realize that bankruptcy could help get lives back on track, I was hooked.
I've been a solo practitioner since 2008. I started out with an office and a receptionist. I don't want a call center. I don't want an office with paralegals giving out bad legal advice and making mistakes. I don't want an office with a name on the door you never meet. I don't want you to reach a different person every time you contact me. You hire me, you get me.
I started with the same basic principle I stick with today; don't take more clients than I can personally handle. Who does the initial consultation? Me. Who gathers information from you and prepares the paperwork? Me. Who goes to the meetings with you? Me. I do it all.
Through the miracle of technology, I've evolved to where I mostly work out of my house in Trophy Club, Texas. I don't even maintain a regular office anymore. I have office locations where we can meet, but technology allows us to do most of the work using the internet, a fax number, and an email address.
I try to keep things simple. I try to do things right. I try to give every client the respect they deserve, no matter what their situation.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have financing options that let you pay as little as $75 before filing bankruptcy. The monthly payments start about 30 days after the bankruptcy is filed.
My fees are based on the work involved. Complicated bankruptcies cost more than simple ones.
Want a fee estimate now? I can't put the link here, but you can get it on the website listed in my profile.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For bankruptcy, the process always starts with a consultation. We talk about your problems and see what solutions might work best for you. Sometimes that solution is bankruptcy. Sometimes not.
If it is bankruptcy, I try to make it as easy as possible. I can do everything electronically without an office visit or long forms to fill out.
We're usually ready to file a bankruptcy within a few days after you hire me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a licensed attorney. I've been practicing consumer bankruptcy law since 2001. I've been the attorney-of-record for 1,000 of Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 cases.
