Why We Are Different
The first thing you will notice about us is that we are genuinely NICE. We treat everyone with the kindness and understanding they deserve. We do not yell; we do not judge; and we do not make clients feel bad for their situation. We offer a safe space to talk about financial stress. We are here to help.
Athena Practices Law Keeping Certain Beliefs in Mind:
- People are good but sometimes run into financial trouble
- A lack of money can be extremely stressful and affect every aspect of your life
- It takes courage to call someone for help
