As Noah has focused his legal career on bankruptcy and debtors rights, he recognizes that the people who consult with him are experiencing tough times.  He is not afraid of working hard as he represents individuals and clarifying a confusing process by making it understandable.   He is interested in gaining additional experience in the family law side of the firm as he sees these areas of law as sometimes being intertwined.    Although Noah was born in Boston, he graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1998 where he had an opportunity to study abroad.  After graduation, he and his wife traveled, then choose to make Portland their home finding it a great place to raise their daughter.
