Experienced Attorney

Having an experienced bankruptcy firm representing you is crucial to protect your assets and we have successfully handled all types of consumer and small business bankruptcy cases:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: The most common form of bankruptcy, our firm will represent you at the most competitive rates.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: A reorganization of your debt, often filed to save your home, stop repossession, or pay back debts not dischargeable in chapter 7.
• Taxes: In many cases your tax debt may be discharged in bankruptcy if certain criteria are met.
• Foreclosure: Filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy may be able to save your home and help with your loan modification process.
• Repossession: Car being repossessed? Or do you owe for a past repossession? We can help. Bankruptcy can stop a repossession in its tracks.
• Bank Levies: If a judgement is obtained by a creditor, they may be able to get a bank levy and take any and all money up to their judgment amount. This is a devastating blow to any family.  You can stop a levy from happening or, in some situations, retrieve funds already taken by levy, by filing bankruptcy and working with a California bank levy lawyer.
• Wage Garnishments: A common way your creditors will collect their debts from you, wage garnishments can make it difficult to pay for everyday necessities like rent and gas.   We can help stop wage garnishments. Contact us today.
• Collection Lawsuits Defense: If you are being sued by a creditor it is important to speak to someone before your creditor garnishes your wages or levies your accounts.  Bankruptcy can end the litigation in state court and stop a creditor from receiving a judgment against you.
