I first want to say I really love my job. I get to spend my day either helping decent people free themselves of the stress and pain that comes with overwhelming debt, protecting them from unscrupulous creditors and debt collectors. It’s a joy and a privilege to do this work.

During over 15 years practicing bankruptcy law, I’ve been fortunate to have helped my clients navigate through around 2,500 chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcies, in addition to obtaining settlements for many who were illegally harassed about paying a debt after filing for bankruptcy protection. In addition to my daily practice, I’ve been honored to teach at legal education seminars on a wide variety of topics, from Chapter 13 modifications, to immigration-related employer sanctions, to law office management.

I’m not a Colorado native, but I grew up here. I graduated from CU-Boulder in 2002, with a Bachelor’s in Religious Studies and Anthropology, and received my J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center in 2007. Following law school, my family – Brooke, Soren and Mimi – and I moved back to the Denver area, where I first practiced immigration law with Ann Allott. Prior to starting this firm, I was Managing Attorney for the Law Offices of Sharon W. Grossenbach, where I oversaw the legal side of a preeminent consumer bankruptcy firm.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with Brooke and my kids (the human and dog varieties), running, skiing, learning or practicing Spanish and reading about science, politics and history.
