About
- My name is Thomas Ford
- I'm writing this as a lawyer, but I’m more than that
- I'm also a husband, a father, and an Aggie
- I've been Elise's husband since 2005 and a father since 2008, when Will was born
- We were blessed Lainey in 2011 and Lyla in 2013
- I've been an Aggie since I was a young child
- When I was five, my mom and dad left good stable jobs, sold their house, motorcycles, cars, and most of their possessions
- They bought a Volkswagen Rabbit and we moved to College Station, Texas so my dad could get an electrical engineering degree at Texas A&M
- He did it in three years
- I would have an Aggie law degree if such a thing had existed back in the day
- We raise 'em right
- all of our kids could sing the War Hymn by age 2!
- But, you’re reading this to learn more about what I do for a living, so let’s talk about that
- I've made a career out of helping people fix their debt problems
- Often that means bankruptcy
- But that isn't all it is
- Sometimes it means defending a lawsuit, or getting a debt settled, or getting a mortgage modified, or credit repair, or helping someone with a money management system
- After you’ve done this a while, you learn that bankruptcy isn’t just people dodging responsibility
- Bankruptcy changes lives
- I'm talking about a positive impact on lives that could really use a little positive impact
- Lives damaged by unemployment, divorce, or illness
- Lives that need a second chance to get it right
- When I began to realize that bankruptcy could help get lives back on track, I was hooked
- I've been a solo practitioner since 2008
- I started out with an office and a receptionist
- I don't want a call center
- I don't want an office with paralegals giving out bad legal advice and making mistakes
- I don't want my name on the door, yet my clients never meet me
- I don't want you to reach a different person every time you contact me
- I started with the same basic principle I stick with today
- don't take more clients than I can personally handle
- Who does the initial consultation?
- Me
- Who gathers information from you and prepares the paperwork?
- Me
- Who goes to the meetings with you?
- Me
- I do it all
- Of course, there's a limited number of me to go around
- So, I limit the number of cases I take each month
- Never more than 15
- a lot less during Aggie Football season!
- Through the miracle of technology, I've evolved to where I do most of my work out of my house in Trophy Club, Texas
- I don't even maintain a regular office anymore
- I have office locations were we can meet, but technology allows us to do most of the work using the internet, a fax number, and an email address
- I try to keep things simple
- I try to do things right
- I try to give each and every client the respect they deserve, no matter what their situation
