For years I've helped families and individuals across Washtenaw County navigate bankruptcy and find a fresh start. I'm a solo attorney by choice — because the people who come to me deserve to talk to their lawyer, not a paralegal or a switchboard.
My promise is simple: I'll answer your call (or call you back the same day). I'll explain bankruptcy in language you actually understand. And I'll be honest with you — if you don't need to file, I'll tell you that too.

The big-firm experience isn't always what people in financial stress need. Here's exactly what you get when you hire Robert directly — and why it matters.
No voicemail maze, no gatekeeper. The number on this website rings Robert's personal cell — day, night, and weekends.
If you can't take a 2pm call from work without your boss asking questions, you shouldn't have to. Robert routinely meets after hours.
The office in Ypsilanti, a quiet coffee shop in Ann Arbor, or a conference room near you. Financial stress is hard enough without an intimidating setting.
No Latin, no jargon, no condescension. Robert walks you through Chapter 7, Chapter 13, the means test, and your exemptions until you actually feel in control.
If bankruptcy isn't your best move, Robert will say so up front — and point you toward debt negotiation, hardship programs, or other alternatives.
You'll never be handed off to a paralegal or junior associate. The lawyer you meet at the consult is the one who files your petition and stands beside you at the 341 meeting.
Robert lives and works in the community he serves — Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, Saline, Belleville, Chelsea, Dexter, and the surrounding Washtenaw County area. That local knowledge matters: he knows the Eastern District of Michigan bankruptcy court, the local trustees, and the practical realities of filing in this part of the state.
"Robert took the time to explain every step of my Chapter 7 in plain English. He answered his cell every time I called — even on a Saturday. I walked into court calm because I actually understood what was happening."

"We were weeks from foreclosure. Robert put together a Chapter 13 plan that let us keep the house and catch up on our missed payments. He was patient, kind, and never made me feel embarrassed about my situation."
"I called expecting a receptionist and Robert himself picked up. He told me honestly that I probably didn't need to file at all and walked me through what to do instead. That kind of straight talk is rare."
"Medical bills had wrecked our credit. Robert handled our Chapter 7 from start to finish — six months later we had a fresh start. Worth every minute."
"Robert met me at a coffee shop near my office because I couldn't get away during the day. That alone said everything about how he treats clients.."
"Stopped the wage garnishment within a week of filing. Robert is calm, respectful, and clearly knows Michigan bankruptcy law inside and out.."
"I was terrified to even call a lawyer. Robert made me feel like a person, not a case file. Forever grateful."
"The Chapter 13 plan Robert built was actually affordable. He took time to map out our budget honestly with us before filing.."
"Robert's evening appointments were a lifesaver — I work two jobs. Got my discharge in under four months. Highly recommend."
"Honest, accessible, and reasonably priced. Robert told me up front exactly what the process would cost and stuck to it.."
"After filing, the collection calls finally stopped. Robert was always a text away when I had a question. Best decision I made."
"Robert saved my truck and got my second mortgage stripped. He explained lien stripping in a way that finally made sense.."
"Genuine, kind, and really good at what he does. Robert is the lawyer I now recommend to friends without hesitation.."
