I am a contributor to industry publications, such as Inside ARM and Collector Mentor. Currently, I am engaged as a creditors\' lawyer, specializing in asset recovery, creditors\' bankruptcy, landlord tenant litigation and defending consumer financial services litigation. My practice also includes consulting projects as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for creditors and third party collection operations, including governmental collection efforts. Previously, I served as the managing partner of the largest creditors’ rights and collection law firm in the country, Mann Bracken LLP, the Successor by Merger to Wolpoff & Abramson LLP and Eskanos & Adler (MB). In that role, I focused primarily on managing the operation and managing risk in a high volume legal practice. I am particularly interested in off shore opportunities for the industry in Latin America, both with respect to the U.S. market and Latin American markets.
