Jorge P. Newbery is Founder and CEO of Debt Cleanse Group Legal Services, a nationwide legal plan to help consumers and small business with unaffordable debts. A 2004 natural disaster triggered the financial collapse of Newbery's business, leaving him with $26 million in debts he could not pay. He authored Burn Zones: Playing Life's Bad Hands, in which he chronicled his rise and fall, and Debt Cleanse: How To Settle Your Unaffordable Debts For Pennies On The Dollar (And Not Pay Some At All) to help others crushed by unaffordable debts. He speaks regularly on debt, housing, and finance.
