Personal Statement

My law practice and law office are unique.  My family and I live on a one-acre lot in Heathrow Woods located close to Interstate 4, Orlando's main traffic artery.  Next to our home, I built a separate building, about 1,000 square feet in size, which I use exclusively for my law office.  I don't commute and I don't wear a suit and tie to work.  Most attorneys I know told me that a law office next to my house would not work, but they were very wrong.  My staff includes a paralegal assistant with over 25 years of experience.  She has her own office which she shares with our "office dog," StoliMy office address is 274 Kipling Court, Heathrow, Florida 32746, and because my office is next to my home, appointments are required.

My law practice focuses on asset protection and consumer bankruptcy.  Most of my clients are concerned about problems with creditors, potential lawsuits, and how an adverse judgment will affect their family's future.  I find this work interesting and challenging because it requires knowledge and integration of several different areas of the law including creditor rights, bankruptcy law, general corporate law, estate planning, and taxation.  I feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I assist my clients in protecting themselves against their adversaries and ease their legal worries.

I provide most legal services on a fixed-fee basis so clients know in advance the cost of accomplishing their goals.  The most rewarding aspect of being an attorney is my clients' appreciation and satisfaction.

I welcome any general questions about asset protection material published on this website.  I provide clients an evaluation of their particular asset protection situation in a one-hour appointment either in person or by telephone for a fixed fee.  I provide a free initial telephone consultation to prospective bankruptcy clients.  Please call me if you need my assistance with asset protection or bankruptcy issues. I am here to help.
