Frequently Asked Questions

We will not do anything you do not want to do. It is not my job to force a settlement on you. Instead, I represent you and your wishes as your hired attorney at law. I will always provide you with your options and inform you of how similar cases have turned out so that you can make the most informed decision you can make regarding whether a settlement better protects your interests – or whether a trial makes more sense. I am not afraid to try cases and believe many issues need to be tried. I tried my first case two days after I received my license. I have successfully argued in the Supreme Court on a criminal case out of Missouri, reversing the Appellate Courts and prior case law. I successfully overturned three life sentences for a client by continuing to fight through the Appellate Courts. I will represent you in the manner that best serves you, as ultimately directed by you.

There are specific time frames for filing another bankruptcy depending on whether or not you received a formal discharge and what type of bankruptcy you filed. For instance, if you received a discharge in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, you have to wait eight years from your original bankruptcy filing date to file another chapter 7. However, you may be eligible to file a chapter 13 bankruptcy, so call our office and we can discuss all of the options given your circumstances.

You always need to perform some estate planning. You may not need advanced planning such as trusts but there are always certain things that you can do that won’t cost you much time or money but will better direct your heirs on how you desire things done and make it easier for them to follow out your wishes. Also, it will prevent your heirs from having to spend their time and money sorting out your issues.

In short, you could but that assumes a lot. First, it assumes you know which form of a business works best for your situation. It also assumes you will prepare all of the other required forms for businesses to operate, not just the filings with the state. It assumes you are going to prepare and file all of the annual forms you have to file. Finally, it assumes the forms you buy are correct. Lots of these forms are not state-specific despite their claims. You must either be careful and take the time necessary to compare all the forms’ content with the requirements of the state statutes or you can simply come in to my office and I can handle these issues for you right, the first time.
