Resolve Legal website is an ongoing project. Originally, it started out as a substitute for a brochure, and we have continued to add features and content to help individuals in financial distress who are looking for legal help. Many years ago, we determined that Google was going to take the place of the Yellow Pages, and that we wanted to be associated with the former and not the latter. We’ve always been turned off by Yellow Pages ads and their bigger-is-better look and feel. And we’ve always had too much to say to prospective clients to fit inside a box on the printed page.

If you’ve come to this blog, you probably are experiencing some sort of financial distress (or you may be a colleague or professional in the field – and we welcome your participation too!). Perhaps you have scrolled through the web pages and are looking for something more specific, or perhaps you are looking for recent news related to consumer bankruptcy, predatory lending, the mortgage crisis, or other consumer rights issues. We started this blog to get involved in the national conversation underway on these issues, as well as discussions about consumerism and sustainability, the general economy, and the role of politics in our financial lives.

You’ll find that we have lots of opinions, and we hope that doesn’t offend you. As attorneys, we certainly understand the role we play as advocates of our clients’ positions, and we are able to put our own personal opinions aside to represent our clients’ interests, so long as it doesn’t directly contravene our core principles. Some of those principles are as follows:

We believe that individual consumer clients deserve the best possible legal representation from lawyers with impeccable credentials. We believe that quality counts, even in smaller cases and even for individual clients, not just corporations. We believe that consumers deserve a fresh start. We believe that sometimes people simply are unable to pay their debts, and that they need a chance to start over. We believe we can help.

Please join the conversation, let us know what you think, ask questions, tell us where we go wrong. Welcome to the Resolve Legal blog!
