As Executive Director, she made the highest level of corporate decisions while finding time for the smaller pleasures of her work, such as walking for juvenile diabetes. Meanwhile, Bonnie would also take on personal counseling needs for clients with the greatest of hardships, and it was not uncommon for her to personally speak with clients and provide counsel. During her successful six year run at DMCC, Bonnie observed first hand how increasingly strict regulations lobbied by the banking industry and government officials were diluting the quality and level of credit counseling service that agencies were able to provide. She witnessed overzealous collection agencies and unfair credit reporting affect the lives of individuals and families who suffered financially due to unforeseen circumstances beyond their control. Accordingly, Bonnie elected to open her own practice, taking her mission to the next level. It would allow her to continue to assist financially distressed consumers, though in an even more significant way. No longer focusing solely on debt management plans, her firm now assists clients in a wider scope of financial issues concerning the law while advocating for consumer rights.
