This blog is being written by Mike Daniels. I've been an attorney in Albuquerque, NM since 1986. I primarily limit my practice to bankruptcy work, although once in a while someone convinces me to take on some civil litigation. I don't do any family law or criminal defense work, partly for lack of expertise in the subjects and partly to reduce the stress in my daily life. Bankruptcy is a pretty interesting area of practice filled with difficult legal issues, which I enjoy, and also with pragmatic and specific benefits to clients, which I also like. Certainly you can't help everyone, and our bankruptcy laws in this country took a sharp turn backwards with the enactment on October 17, 2005 of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act. It sure sounds benign, doesn't it? Sadly it isn't.
I'm a sole practitioner, and have one employee. I like to keep things simple. I try to adopt the efficiencies available in new technologies, and so I keep a web presence (mdanielslaw.com) and interact with clients via email if they prefer that method. Our office can be a pretty busy place, but please be patient and we'll do our best to provide all the information our clients need. There are some legal and ethical restrictions on what I can post here, but I'll try to provide useful information and updates on the law when they are available.
