Favorite part of helping clients with bankruptcy
For me, the best part is when I tell a client we will stop the foreclosure on their home and they say “so I can breathe now?” or “so I can sleep peacefully now?” and I respond “absolutely, we’ve got it from here!” In my experience, that relief is so emotional for the client that it really makes me feel good.
Other Interests and Information
As far as my personal interest and hobbies, I love spending time with my son and husband, I love my girl trips with my college friends (we’re still close after 24 years of friendship) and I am overjoyed when my mom comes from New York to visit! Oh! And online shopping is always fun for me too.
