Besides drawing on his experiences from more than 11 years as a bankruptcy attorney, the blog will also explain parts of the new bankruptcy laws that go into effect Oct. 17, 2005.

I'll be blogging about personal bankruptcy; how it works, the impact it has on people's lives, and Ill touch on many of the human factors involved in bankruptcy, such as the emotional impact of how it affects people and their families, he explained in his first entry.

His writing will also reflect his deep-rooted sense of ethics, coupled with an uncompromising commitment to aggressive representation of his clients, he said.

Gustafson has advised and represented thousands of consumer bankruptcy clients during his 11-1/2 years as a bankruptcy attorney and is a manager of the bankruptcy practice group at Macey & Aleman.

He became a member of the Illinois Bar in 1993, of the California Bar in 1997 and of the Indiana Bar in 2001. He currently lives in Evanston with his wife and two children.
