CINDI GOOD

Professional Information:

I received my Legal Secretarial AA Degree and worked for the City of San Diego for several years. We moved to Northern California, and my husband and I owned and operated a business for 18 years. In 2002, I began working as an Escrow Assistant and also became a Notary Public; completing over 400 loan closings.

I had listened to a VBA website teleconference and heard an interview with Vikki Watanabe, our AAVBA Executive Director. I went to her website, read an article about her starting up the American Association of Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants. I signed up for future updates and became one of the first AAVBA members (member #7).

In February of 2008, Amanda (my daughter and business partner) and I received bankruptcy petition preparation training. In April of 2008; we launched our business, Bankruptcy Pro Processor (http://www.bankruptcyproprocessor.com/). It's wonderful working together! We love being able to figure out together how to handle each challenge as we prepare petitions. We have found that there is always something new to learn on each petition.

We currently assist two attorneys in California in preparing bankruptcy petitions...we are both hooked, we LOVE bankruptcy preparation! We are both planning on continuing our education in becoming Certified Paralegals, so that we may expand our assistance to attorneys.


Personal Information:

I love reading, sewing, scuba diving, and spending time with my family. My husband and I of 32+ years have four grown children (Brandon-Chemistry Teacher; Collin-Correctional Officer; Amanda-my Business Associate; and Megan-ICU Registered Nurse), and three exceptionally brilliant granchildren. Grandparenting is such a twitter-paited kind of love; it's so much fun being "grands"!".

Featured VBA's of 2009

January 5-My first post of 2009.

This year, my blog will be dedicated to the men and women who are Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants.

All Featured Virtual Bankruptcy Assistants are AAVBA members. Their names and information can be found at www.aavba.org

When the Featured VBA's name appears on this blog, their contact information will appear in the article. This way, you can click on the link and go directly to their website. You will also be able to email them or call them.

AAVBA is not an employment agency and we do not guarantee work. Every individual who is a member of AAVBA market their own businesses. AAVBA provides service and support to the VBA and in doing so, we market to Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys on behalf of our members.

We hope you'll visit this blog every two weeks beginning tomorrow, January 5th and running throughout the year to read about the Featured VBA. I'm sure you will find each person interesting, engaging, and professional.

Here's to a productive, successful 2009!
