It was a typical day for David as he walked to his favorite coffee shop to get a latte and pastry. David was a Cincinnati criminal defense attorney pursuing his dream of becoming a legal legend. David was three years out of law school and already he was developing a respectable reputation. He purchased an nice home, a nice BMW, hand tailored suits, a pleasure boat and a country club membership. He was getting the high end white collar criminal cases. David knew his future was bright and he was on a rocket path. He never imagined he would need Cincinnati Credit Repair to fix his finances or a public relations firm to fix his reputation.
David took a case that would cost him everything he had. There was a builder and developer creating residentitual properties throughout the region. What the contractor wasn’t doing was taking care of his financial obligations. He was also taking money that was supposed to be in escrow and using it to pay off vendors and live lavishly. He was able to stay ahead of the game while the market was hot. The contractor had turned his business into a ponzi scheme. When the bottom fell out, the scheme fell apart. Hundreds of people lost their homes. The developer came under fire and, seeing the writing on the wall, prepared for bankruptcy. His first task was to purchase a mansion in Florida since the home could not be taken under Florida’s bankruptcy laws.
When the public found out that this man had bought a home safe from creditors while hundreds of people watched their house fall victim to liens and foreclosure the proverbial scat hit the fan. David, the contractors lawyer became the public symbol of this man. The publicity was so negative that David needed protection coming into the court room. There were restaurants he could no longer go to because the owner lost a house or knew someone who did. His own personal life became a target under the media assault as he began to drink a heavily every night.
Over the course of several months while getting ready for trial, David began to feel the pain of all the victims he deposed. Hundreds of families told their tales of being cheated out of their homes. David began to consume alchohol during lunch and never faced the contractor until he had a drink in him. The work was piling up and David was overwhelmed. He was so preoccupied he neglected his bills and expenses and started missing payments. When the clients cash reserves where low he paid for services with property deeds that proved to be fraudulent.
Dave lost nearly everything and his reputation was ruined. After his client was put in jail, Dave began the long hard work of rebuilding his reputation. When Dave tried to sell one of the property deeds his financial world fall apart. Dave sought credit help and had to move his practice to a city in Florida where no one knew his name.
