Who I Am How I Work
Biography
I am a solo practitioner in Northwest Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I’m too much of a control freak to have support staff. So, if you call my office, you either get me, or my voice on the voice mail. I try to limit my practice to representing people with debt or debt-related issues.
I say that I make a living representing people who can’t pay their bills — which is something of an administrative challenge. That isn’t really true. I do work for all kinds of people with credit report problems or identity theft issues, but basically, I file bankruptcies, help people deal with their their Credit Reports , defend collection cases, defend foreclosure cases and otherwise try to make a difference for people who have been handed more by life than they can handle.

Practice HistoryI’ve been in practice since 1990. I’ve worked for a high-dollar, high-rise, downtown law firm. I’ve billed countless hours at outrageous rates to large corporations, major financial institutions and the U. S. Government. I decided a long time ago, that I preferred making a difference in people’s lives to making a lot of money. Hence, my current practice. |
How I WorkI am the only person you will deal with in my office. If you have an appointment with me, you deserve 100% of my attention. That means that if you want to see me, you need to make an appointment. Although, a surprisingly large number of things can be handled by telephone or e-mail. That saves both of us time. |
Academic StuffI graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 1990. I was 9th out of 209 with five American Jurisprudence awards and the Phillips Allen Porta Memorial Award. That means that I’m a member of the Order of the Coif, and if I wanted to look at them I could paper my walls with important looking stuff in expensive frames. I’d rather not. |
What to ExpectThe first time you call my office, plan on being on the phone for ten to fifteen minutes. I’m going to try and get a feel for your situation. Most of what I do is very fact specific. This way I know what information I need to have you bring to the first appointment. |
