Drawn to help the disadvantaged, Criminal justice is good foundation for busy attorney

The managing attorney for Legal Helper’s Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Violation Office in Chicago is part of the largest bankruptcy firm in the country. At 28 years of age, he is the picture of a motivated and successful young professional.
