Claimed Lawyer Profile
Biography

My practice is focused is focused on resolving debt issues, protecting assets, and litigation regarding the same for individuals and small to mid size businesses. Prior to founding Washington Debt Law, PLLC, I worked at one of the largest creditor side law firms, representing financial institutions in bankruptcy, eviction, foreclosure, and litigation matters.

Having both creditor and debtor side experience brings a nuanced approach in dealing with creditors as I am familiar with their tactics, budgets, resources, and how best to find an effective approach. Our major solutions focus on litigation, settlement, bankruptcy, and out of court options. Our major practice areas include bankruptcy, collections, family law (as to collections/financial issues), foreclosure defense, landlord tenant collections defense, and student loans.

Prior to law school, I served in the U.S. Air Force (active and reserves) and deployed for post 9/11 operations. When not practicing law I enjoy cooking, watching far too many documentaries, and spending time with my family.
