Before I studied law at Santa Clara University and became a lawyer, I filed for Bankruptcy 16 years ago. I understand the stress of being in debt and the feeling overwhelmed with pressure from creditors and guilt about filing bankruptcy and worried about facing creditors and going to court; what would they ask? what will they take? when will this be over?! I now take pride in helping clients through that difficult process, as someone helped me 16 years ago.
