General Info:
Since graduating from law school in 1981, Mr. Ask has served the Riverside and San Bernardino communities as a bankruptcy practitioner. He has represented people who have been drowning in debt, many in fear of losing their homes, in several thousand bankruptcy cases in the past 32 years. Bankruptcy is a little bit like poker. You've got to know "when to hold em", and know "when to fold em." It's a talent that you can't learn overnight, but Mr. Ask knows his business very well. Our Senior Bankruptcy Paralegal has been with us since 1987. When you contemplate bankruptcy, you will ultimately have to place your trust with a practitioner who can help you make the right decisions. Bankruptcy isn't the answer for every family in financial distress. You need to talk to an experienced lawyer who listens to your concerns, and helps you address your issues, with just as much care and knowledge as he would with members of his own family. We invite you to come to our law office, which is staffed with people just like you. We are not here to judge you, or lecture you, or to remind you of how much we know about bankruptcy. We are here to listen to you. We are here to "walk you through the minefield". The hardest decision you'll have to make is to pick up the phone and call us for an appointment or send us an e-mail. While bankruptcy may not be your first choice, when dealing with your financial concerns, you shouldn't wait until all other options are gone. People come in to our office all the time that have needlessly drained their retirement accounts in order to pay down debts, that never had to be paid. Time is not on your side. Early diagnosis is just as important in law, as it is in medicine. Mr. Ask will give you his undivided attention during your hour-long free initial consultation. That goes a long way in helping you make sound decisions about your finances, and helping you understand and sort out your options. If you are experiencing financial distress, losing your home to foreclosure, dealing with wage garnishments, losing your car to repossession, or ducking and dodging the IRS, you are seriously distracted and not functioning up to your capacity. You are suffering from emotional, mental and physical distress. Your relationships with others are being impacted. Often, Mr. Ask can help you prioritize the challenges that you face, keeping in mind that, family comes first. This has a way of making the whole experience easier to deal with. Financial distress can bring about trauma. Our job is to reduce your stress down to, perhaps, a speed bump, or an inconvenience, but not a dreadful and frightening experience.
