Seeking Advice

In my early years, my older sister, Linda, and I were Air Force brats. Before our father retired after 22 years in the Air Force, we lived in places like Japan, Okinawa and Marquette, Michigan, to name a few. Living the military life, you rely on family more than usual. My sister, though four-and-a-half years older, was my constant companion. She always had the best ideas for adventure, like the best places to hike, how to make a "spook house" in the basement (this involves a big imagination - peeled grapes were eyeballs, cooked spaghetti was brains, you get the picture), how to make Barbie evening gowns out of Grandpa's old neckties, and how to go out in the woods to chop down a Christmas tree for our grandparents, only to realize we forgot to take something to cut with. Have you ever twisted a large pine branch round and round until you could peal it off the tree? Yes, it was the "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree, but I always looked up to my big sister and relied on her leadership.

Today we live hours apart and our visits are few, but I still call for her advice. As we grow, our moments of decision change and mature, but our need for a little advice and extra guidance never seems to go away. We all live with a sea of ever increasing opinions, but we always go back to those friends, colleagues and big brothers and sisters we trust most, knowing that we'll receive honest feedback and advice.

Here at Bordas & Bordas, I am pleased to say that I am Jason Causey's assistant. He is one of the smartest people I've ever met. Not only did he graduate in the top five of his class from the West Virginia University College of Law, but he also has a master of professional accountancy degree from Clemson University. He primarily handles predatory lending and consumer rights litigation. As you can imagine, every day he talks to numerous people about issues with their mortgages and other financial matters. He is pretty much a rock star when it comes to understanding the small print in a contract. He has spoken at conferences across the country regarding lending practices and is well respected among his peers. He's made giving honest feedback and advice his career, and quite a fine one at that! But not only is he brilliant, he's genuinely kind. He wants to help people get back on track. He's definitely someone to turn to for solid financial advice.
