One cloudy afternoon, I hit the pavement for a run, expecting an ordinary workout. Instead, this physical challenge transformed into a powerful catalyst for my work as a foreclosure defense attorney.
As I ran, I really observed the houses along the streets. With each step, I couldn't help but imagine the stories of each family inside—are they financially sound or in turmoil??
During my homeward-bound stretch, a solitary figure sitting on a park bench with their head buried in their hands caught my attention. The weight of defeat and life's circumstances seemed to envelop them.
Driven by curiosity, I took a detour. Unknowingly, I set myself on a course that would forever change my perspective on the fight against foreclosure.
Reflecting on my transformative journey as a foreclosure defense attorney and financial advocate, three key points stand out:
Understanding the Human Side
Foreclosure is not a one-size-fits-all process. There is mortgage foreclosure, tax foreclosure, water/sewer lien foreclosure and judgment lien foreclosures, to name a few. Different situations can result in foreclosure, and the reasons for defaulting on loan payments are frequently out of an individual's control.
In many cases, homeowners who face foreclosure often blame themselves for their circumstances and are at risk of losing everything they've worked hard to achieve. They hit a wall, assume they can’t move forward, and stop.??
My immersion in the running world taught me how to keep moving when I hit a wall. It also taught me that I, like my homeowner clients, deserve empathy and compassion when things get tough. This deeper understanding allowed me to forge deep connections with homeowners in varying situations, enabling me to offer help and the right guidance to fight for their homes.
Resilience in Motion
Running is the epitome of resilience. With each stride, we can celebrate resilience, allowing it to teach us that even in the face of obstacles, moving forward is not just possible, but essential.
This resilient spirit translates into my role as a foreclosure defense attorney. Every step I take on the pavement ignites my determination and unwavering commitment to fight for homeowners' rights—and it gives me the strength to see that fight through.
In my clients’ darkest moments, I've become a beacon of hope, providing them with the strength to overcome adversity.
Empowering through Advocacy

Running empowers me. And through my advocacy, I empower homeowners facing foreclosure. By sharing their stories, fighting for their rights, and offering guidance and support, I’ve become a voice for those who felt voiceless.
Running and advocacy go hand in hand. Both require strength, commitment, and the belief that every step forward makes a meaningful difference.
As I approached the person on the bench in the park, I knew deep down that I held the power to change their life. With a genuine desire to help, I offered my support. What mattered most was that they felt heard, understood, and empowered to take control of their situation.

Running has evolved beyond mere exercise for me. It has become a wellspring of inspiration, reminding me of the immense strength we all possess. Just as I find solace and empowerment in every step, I extend that same feeling to homeowners facing foreclosure.
Recovering from foreclosure is not easy. But with the right guidance and support, homeowners can regain control of their lives and begin new journeys. They can rebuild their credit, find a new home, and plan for a more stable financial future.
