I have known Malissa for 20 years. Of all the people I have ever known, Malissa is THE smartest, most dedicated, passionate, genuine person. She is who you want to hire to represent you. She will always do her best and her best is better than everyone elses best. I have always been stunned by her genius. Difficult work that would stump or slow down others is a breeze for her. She makes it seem effortless. She is quite simply brilliant in every sense. Amazing. With all of her gifts, she does not look down on others. She has dedicated her life and her brilliance to helping others. To bringing justice to those in need. Her heart is yet another gift. I'm proud to know her and call her my friend. I recommend her with all of my heart. She will not let you down.

When I initially met Malissa, I was very impressed with her "big picture" view which I attribute to her international experience. I also found that while Malissa is very proficient in all the areas inherent to estate planning, she has a particular wealth of knowledge in handling bankruptcy issues. You will be in good hands working with Malissa!

I help people protect their family, home, and assets by putting an end to debt collection harassment, foreclosure, and garnishment through Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy filings and preparation of Advance Directives: Last Will & Testament, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, and Non-Probate Transfers. I was the first attorney at my previous firm to practice under the new Bankruptcy Code; I also assisted attorneys across the state to become Electronic Case Filing compliant. Due to my experience in Bankruptcy, I am aware that it is not the best option for every client. Because of this, I have a history of advising clients on Bankruptcy alternatives, and negotiating settlements with Collection and Credit Card Companies. I have helped to guide clients through the stressful actions necessary to deal with creditors. I know and can explain clearly exactly what rights my clients have and how to respond to creditors’ unwanted calls. As the previous Elder Law Project Manager for a statewide non-profit, I handled all stages of Estate Planning. I've met with clients and given presentations throughout the state regarding these issues. I have a history of quality representation, helping many families through, what can be very difficult and emotional situations, such as bankruptcy and estate matters. While no one wants to deal with these types of issues, it is easier when you have the support of a knowledgeable Attorney by your side. Show less
