Biography

I spent my first year as an attorney representing indigent clients at the Will County public defender’s office, which prompted her to settle in Joliet, Illinois. My practice focuses on helping those charged with criminal offenses and burdened with crushing debt. Bankruptcy could provide relief from the burden of unmanageable debt. Depending on the type of bankruptcy which the debtor files for, it can also help them get rid of their debts.

Over the years, I have also grown a successful real estate practice, helping the citizens of Will County and the surrounding area achieve the American dream of home-ownership. I am one of the few attorneys in Will County who can assist clients and close real estate transactions in Spanish.
