WHY I PRACTICE CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY LAW
For CJ, being a lawyer has always been about helping people. He practices bankruptcy law because it allows him to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are often feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. By helping his clients gain a fresh start and putting them on the path to financial freedom, CJ finds purpose and fulfillment in his work.
Many people don’t seek legal help until their financial difficulties feel insurmountable. CJ understands how overwhelming this can be, and he takes pride in helping clients realize that bankruptcy laws exist to provide the relief they need to regain control of their lives. For him, the most rewarding part of the job is seeing clients move from despair to hope as they learn how bankruptcy can lift the weight of unmanageable debt.
Whether someone has recently encountered financial trouble or has been struggling for years, CJ approaches every case with compassion and a commitment to understanding each client’s unique situation. He knows that no two financial struggles are the same, and he works closely with clients to explore the solutions that the bankruptcy code offers. His goal is always to craft a strategy that produces the best possible outcome for each individual client.
CJ’s passion for helping others goes beyond simply navigating the legal process—he wants his clients to leave their experience feeling empowered, educated, and ready to rebuild. For him, bankruptcy law isn’t just about debt relief; it’s about giving people the chance to start over and build a better future.
