| Attorney, Shainberg & Viola, Philadelphia, PA | 2009-Current |
| I have joined forces with Shainberg & Viola, a well-established matrimonial law firm here in Philadelphia, to begin a consumer bankruptcy practice that is focused on quality of representation and service. We are not a bankruptcy factory, and we look for solutions, including non-bankruptcy solutions, that are in the best interest of the client. |
| Attorney, Law Office of Erik B. Jensen, Philadelphia, PA | 2008-2009 |
| I joined the firm to clean up a very disheveled consumer bankruptcy practice. It gave me the opportunity to learn the idiosyncrasies of the Eastern District of PA Bankruptcy Court as well as the confidence to "go out on my own" after, of course, leaving the firm in a much better position than when I got there. |
