    What do you like about this subject?  Bankruptcy is a frequently changing area of the law, that frequently involves multiple disciplines, including tax law, real estate law, family law, estate and trust law, and many others. It is always exciting and quite rewarding to assist people with their serious financial problems.

    What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  IMPORTANT!! please include in your question the county and state where you live (or where the bankruptcy was or will be filed). Answers to many questions are dependent on state law. I can only answer such questions (such as exemptions, real estate matters, etc.) if they are based on California law.

    Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The new bankruptcy laws, which took effect in October 2005, made many changes to how cases are processed, eligibility to file, etc. But mostly it just created more burdens and paperwork for bankruptcy attorneys and their clients.

    Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Bankruptcy was originally designed to achieve a balance between debtorsand the creditors to whom they owe money. It was designed so that on the whole the economy and society at large is better off by enabling people to properly take advantage of bankruptcy laws.
