I started my own law practice to take the cases and represent the clients that I choose. And I choose to represent consumers who are victimized by landlords, debt collectors, lenders, and other unscrupulous actors. Debt collectors, landlords, credit companies, and others are getting rich taking advantage of and abusing consumers, and I hope to do my part to make them pay when they go too far.
I take great pride and derive great enjoyment from my work. Nothing pleases me more than seeing a fraud and a cheat get his or her just desserts.
