A Calm Advocate During Difficult Times
Helping You Find Financial Relief And Peace Of Mind Through Bankruptcy
When I started practicing bankruptcy law in Grand Rapids more than 25 years ago, I was determined to be a different kind of lawyer. Not a stuffed-shirt attorney, but someone who is willing to take the time to be there for each and every one of my clients. I offer a calm and relaxed atmosphere where you can be assured your attorney is on your side, ready to listen to your story.
By working with me, you won’t just get experience and know-how. You will also have an advocate on your side who cares deeply about helping you find relief and a better tomorrow. I will handle your case personally from beginning to end. I will be the person you meet during your initial consultation, not a staff member or assistant. I will also be the person who answers your questions every step of the way, no matter how complex or mundane.
I Am Well Respected Because I Care
If I can make the process easier for my clients and take away some of their stress, I have done my job. Perhaps that is why I get referrals from other attorneys: They know I will take good care of their clients.

Here When You Need Me, Four Miles From Downtown
I know that bankruptcy is a stressful time and often involves making decisions now. In fact, there are times when I need to act immediately to stop repossession or wage garnishment. That is why I am willing to meet people on weekends and evenings as necessary.
My law office is conveniently located four miles from downtown Grand Rapids, with free parking in the back. Please contact me for a free consultation during which you will have time to meet me and understand what I can do for you — without any pressure to hire me.
Your Bankruptcy Lawyer, Here To Listen
Serious debt problems can happen to anyone. As your lawyer, I’m not here to judge you. I’m here to listen. I know that the decision to file for bankruptcy is not easy. But I also know that those I have helped during my 25 years of experience have found that filing for bankruptcy gave them peace of mind.
If you are facing overwhelming debt, I will sit down with you and discuss whether bankruptcy is right for you. This conversation is entirely free of charge and risk. My goal is simply to let you know what is available and to help you feel better — it is ultimately your decision whether you want to work with me. Before you leave, I will tell you exactly how much your bankruptcy will cost so that you have all the facts when making your decision.
What Can Bankruptcy Do For You?
For some of my clients, bankruptcy stopped foreclosure and saved their homes. For others, filing for Chapter 7 eliminated debt entirely, giving them a fresh start. Still others were able to create a Chapter 13 plan that allowed them to pay off debt in a way that worked for them.
What it will do for you depends on your unique situation. Perhaps most importantly, however, bankruptcy offers relief. Relief from the stress of not being able to pay “yet another bill.” Relief from constant creditor calls and the fear that you will lose your home or your car. Even relief from physical and emotional health challenges that can come with worrying about finances day-in and day-out.
