Navigate Bankruptcy with Confidence
Expert Legal Advice
After working with top bankruptcy firms throughout Southern California, I’ve seen how overwhelming the process can be—and how expensive traditional legal representation has become. I offer a full range of services: chapter 7, chapter 13, and small business chapter 11s.
With over 40 years of bankruptcy law experience and a magna cum laude degree from Loyola Law School, I help people facing financial difficulties understand their options and navigate the bankruptcy process successfully.
What Makes My Service Different
Legal Expertise You Can Trust: As a licensed California attorney, I can provide the legal advice that paralegals and document preparation services cannot. I’ll help you understand which assets to list, what exemptions apply to your situation, how to pass the means test and whether you need to reaffirm specific debts.
Personalized Guidance: I will guide you through every step of the process, answer your questions, and help you avoid costly mistakes.
Common Questions I Help With:
- Should I file for bankruptcy?
- Which chapter should I file?
- Do I need legal representation?
- What are my exemptions?
- How do I protect my assets?
- What documents do I need?
- How do I handle creditor communications?
