Associate Attorney

Bankruptcy Attorney

You must have:

****MINIMUM ONE YEAR BANKRUPTCY EXPERIENCE****
IF YOU HAVE NO BANKRUPTCY EXPERIENCE, PLEASE DON'T APPLY.

I am a California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization Certified Bankruptcy Law Specialist for 22 years. I have been practicing bankruptcy law for 45 years. I am 71 years old.

I am swamped with work and need an attorney to take some of the load off my back. Perhaps I may then occasionally get a lunch break.

I am looking for a bankruptcy attorney to allow me to:

1. TAKE OVER SOME OF MY CASE LOAD;

2. REDUCE MY TIME in the office so I can take some vacations and spend time with my grandkids;

3. ultimately RUN MY PRACTICE; and

4. TAKE OVER THE FIRM when I retire. Financial arrangements can be made.

Taking over the firm will only happen if you demonstrate that you belong here. There is no guarantee of that transition. It will depend on both of us finding that we have a good relationship and you demonstrating that you have the skills and desires as set forth below. However, I would point out that it is in my interest and yours to have you take over the firm.

My clients are primarily Consumer and Small Business debtors, Corporation, LLC & LLP debtors. We do not represent creditors.

Our goal is not to just help clients get rid of or reorganize debts. Our goal is to make the process understandable and help them to realize that they personally are, in most cases, not to blame for getting into debt or increasing debt while attempting to improve their situation. Most people who get into debt or have businesses fail are usually the result of situations beyond their control. That includes job loss, medical expenses, business failures, dissolution of marriages and other relationships and a myriad of other situations. This is about giving them their dignity back. Our goal is far beyond filling out papers.

IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE COMMITTED TO THIS POSITION FOR THE LONG RUN, DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS ADVERTISMENT.

You must have:

· Intelligence (this should go without saying but, unfortunately, I have seen a lot of dumb attorneys that are practicing law)

· Heart (you must care about and have sympathy and understanding of the client’s circumstances and emotional needs) You must have excellent people skills

· A willingness and desire to learn and improve your skills. I will teach you to be one of the best consumer and small business bankruptcy attorney in the field. That will often require you to discard prior practices and procedures that you may have learned elsewhere and replace them with new and better ways to accomplish goals for the clients. I also pay for many bankruptcy seminars and programs to help you learn the latest information.

· A strong work ethic.

· The ability to follow directions

· A willingness to work as a team with other firm members regardless of their position.

· A desire for immediate responsibilities and direct contact with clients

· Want to have direct input in the office management and procedures.

· Want to be actively involved in a rapidly expanding consumer and small business bankruptcy law practice.

If you are a “three-piece-suit, nose-in-the-air” attorney with an attitude, don’t apply as this is not the place for you. The suit is okay, the attitude is not. These clients are our employers.

If you are fluent in reading and speaking a second language (Spanish, Tagalog, Russian, Indian, Mideastern Languages, Hmong, Vietnamese, or other commonly used languages in our area) is a plus.

If you have some sales experience, that is also a plus. Sometimes you have to sell the client on why it is in their best interest to hire us, only if that is the case of course, or why they must cooperate and give you ALL their information to be able to analyze their situation and do the best job for them.

Please provide your resume and cover letter with information as to what your bankruptcy experience and skills are. Please do not send me a generic cover letter.
