Attorney/Partner
How Cassie Can Help You
Cassie assists individuals and families with estate planning (Wills/Trusts) and bankruptcy. Cassie is proud to help individuals and families protect their assets while providing debt relief. Cassie enjoys the opportunity to meet with potential clients during the consultation to educate them on the bankruptcy process and explore whether bankruptcy is the best solution to their particular circumstances. She understands everyone is facing a different situation and talking through how bankruptcy can help or not is essential for people to make an educated decision regarding their finances. Cassie realizes many people coming into her office are not familiar with bankruptcy so she always walks people through the basics and then gets into the specifics relevant to each consultation. You will leave the consultation with the information on how to move forward. Here is the number one comment I hear the most at the end of my consultations. Schedule your consultation.
When a consultation transitions to a case, Cassie ensures her clients are kept well informed and comfortable as the process progresses. She always welcomes direct contact with clients through calls or emails. She understands filing bankruptcy is a difficult decision and treats her clients with respect throughout the entire process.
