Speaking Engagements
Contact Us!Information is power. When I have it, I share it.
I am passionate about educating the public and my colleagues on the law. Any time I have the opportunity, I donate my time to present seminars on the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). I want to help spread the word so that every business owner knows about the CTA. In addition, I also speak on business law topics to educate business owners on various business law matters so that they may make educated decisions about their businesses.
If you would like me to speak at your organization, please contact me.

Title: Post-Convention Deep Dive: Navigating SBA Loans as Creditors—EIDLs, PPPs & More In and Out of Bankruptcy
Description: Following NACBA’s 33rd Annual Convention in Hollywood, this advanced session offers a focused examination of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as a creditor—particularly in light of the unprecedented volume of loans issued during the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 3.75 million Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) totaling more than $377 billion, SBA loan issues are increasingly common in consumer bankruptcy cases. Even businesses that experienced a temporary boost from programs like EIDL and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) have faced long-term challenges, resulting in insolvency and bankruptcy filings.
This webinar will provide a deep dive into the types of SBA loans made, the unique ways SBA functions as a creditor, and the tools and strategies available to bankruptcy practitioners when addressing these obligations both in and out of court. Topics will include treatment of SBA debt in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, administrative offset, SBA collection policies, and litigation trends.
