I've lived and practiced law in Madison Wisconsin for over 30 years. I am a partner in a small firm including attorneys practicing in real estate, bankruptcy, housing, estate planning, cooperatives and tenant representation. One of our partners is a Chapter 7 Trustee. My main areas of practice are bankruptcy, foreclosure resolution through Chapter 13 and modifications, and family law. I am on the board of the Madison chapter of the National Lawyers' Guild and a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.
