If you’re like most people, when the financial situation starts to get out of hand and the debt collectors call day and night, you stop answering the phone. When you stop answering the phone, the bill collectors leave messages, and eventually your mailbox gets full.

That’s a good strategy for a while, but it’s a problem for me as your bankruptcy lawyer because sometimes I need to reach you. If you don’t answer the phone, I need to be able to leave a message.

So please, once we’ve decided to work together, go into your mailbox and delete all those old messages so your voicemail picks up when I need to get you important information about your case.

Please empty your voice mailbox so I can leave you a message when you don’t answer.
