As a Bankruptcy Trustee in Windsor, I am often asked why I don’t do corporate work. For many Trustees corporate work is seen as the interesting work and the work that gets the attention. Well, the attention part can be true. There have been a number of high profile companies file for bankruptcy recently in Windsor and this can attract some media attention. I noticed two such articles in the local paper last weekend. The interesting note for me is our phone lines increase when this happens. As someone who used to work for a national firm this doesn’t surprise me. Someone may have called one of these firms and set up an appointment to discuss options to their personal situation. They book the appointment but then the trustee they were supposed to meet with starts working on a corporate file. What happens next? You guessed it – the personal appointment gets cancelled in favour of the corporate file.

That same person then calls Hoyes, Michalos, meets with me and we review the options in detail. They were stressed and annoyed that their meeting at another firm was cancelled, but now they are happy to know the options available to them.

It is important to meet with someone and review your options when you are having financial trouble. You can call me at 310-PLANto set up an appointment.
