I think I have lots to be happy about right now! 2011 marks 10 years since I opened my law practice. Where has the time gone? Another anniversary passed today! It's my LIF anniversary. I just renewed my vendor ad for the fourth year.

LIF is now my only source of paid advertising other than the costs of keeping my website alive. I was very fortunate 10 years ago in that my first 10 clients each referred at least one other client. From there I was, as they say, "off to the races." I have never looked back. Later on, I became been amazed at how LIF and word of mouth business has allowed me to actually decrease my advertising expenses while the business grows. I have been able to keep my practice limited to my favorite 2 practice areas, CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY and SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. I'm a former Supervisory Staff Attorney for the Social Security Administration.

I want to say thanks to the LIF community and I want to help people who may find that their finances are not where they need to be:

For anyone who mentions LIF when calling my office, if you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and are paid in full before July 31, 2011, my office will cover the costs of the mandatory credit counseling and debtor education. There are 2 required courses. You can take them both online in the privacy of your home. This is a total value of up to $100 and this will cover the costs of the courses even if both spouses need to file bankruptcy.

The small print: you must qualify to file a Chapter 7 case and have paid attorney fees and court filing fee by July 31, 2011. This offer does not apply to Chapter 13 cases. We offer reasonable rates for all bankruptcies and we have no hidden fees. Call us for more information.

As always, all inquiries and all representation will be kept confidential. I cannot and will NEVER discuss your inquiry on the boards or anywhere else.

Thanks again to the LIF community and to those clients who have placed their faith in me as their attorney!
