Before the trainees are finished, legal assistants provide"real time" demonstrations showing how Gardner's system operates with"real life" cases.Gardner tells BusinessWeek in the article "Bankruptcy Boot Camp":"Mygoal is to train an army of attorneys to take the fight right to thecreditors and their Wall Street aiders and abettors. They wantedreform, and we're going to give it to them."Mr.Gardner's Bankruptcy Boot Camp has been featured in Business Week andwas recently the subject of a CNN segment on the show "Open Home" alongwith the director of the movie "Maxxed Out".Itis an honor and a privilege to serve in the elite army of consumerbankruptcy attorneys recruited and trained by O. Max Gardner to handlethe difficult matters which have caused incredible hardship to theaverage consumer in todays world.      Overthe years I have worn many hats both as an attorney in a variety ofspecialties and in corporate America as an entrepreneur spearheadingthe growth of a large health and fitness giant.  All the while, I knew someday I would leave the corporate world to start a law firm specializing in Personal Bankruptcy. WHY DO I CHOOSE TO PRACTICE BANKRUPTCY LAW?This is an easy answer!  I find Personal Bankruptcy to be the most rewarding area to practice as it is the one area of law where the little guy CAN come out ahead and can feel like a winner.  I do not accept corporate clients and remain committed to the people who need the most help.  Hardworkingpeople unable to make ends meet due to unforeseen consequences ofaccepting lines of credit from predatory lenders, job loss in astruggling economy or overwhelming medical bills brought on by thehealth care crisis.   No matter what the reason, everyone is entitled to a "do-over" and get a fresh start!I am a regular author of articles on the subject of Bankruptcy.  Feelfree to ask questions and inspire my next writing. My number one ruleis that my clients need to stop thinking like victims and startrethinking their vantage point. Get ready to take back your life andget some breathing room!   See my recent articles published on EHow.com where my screen name is BankruptcyXpert.When I am not wiping out consumer debts, empowering the masses,  I am a devoted mother of 2 truly remarkable teenagers.  My pride and joy as well as my inspiration to forge ahead and make a difference – one client at a time.
