About Us
Lakeshore Asset Recovery exists to do this work the right way — with the rigor of a financial professional and the honesty Illinois families deserve.
Our Story
I spent years as an auditor with the IRS and as an accounting professional, where my entire job was getting the numbers right and following processes that most people find intimidating. Over that time I saw, again and again, how ordinary people lose track of money that's rightfully theirs — simply because the system is confusing and no one is looking out for them.
Foreclosure surplus funds are one of the clearest examples. After losing a home — often during the hardest stretch of someone's life — people walk away assuming there's nothing left. In reality, the property may have sold for thousands more than was owed, and that money is legally theirs. It just sits in a court account, waiting, while the clock runs.
I founded Lakeshore Asset Recovery to close that gap, using the same diligence I brought to government audits: meticulous documentation, clear communication, and zero tolerance for the shady tactics that give this industry a bad name. I'm currently pursuing my CPA license to continue raising that standard.
