Personal Attention from an Attorney Who Really Returns Your Phone Call
We have concentrated our practice on consumer bankruptcy matters since 1990, including Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (reorganization). We will also help you explore alternatives to bankruptcy. Although we no longer handle them, if you are considering a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, we can refer you to qualified local counsel.
At our offices, we strive to bring the most value to you as we move through the bankruptcy process. Our goal is to help you get a fresh start by eliminating as much of your debt as possible while protecting as many of your assets as we can. We also will advise you regarding what is called pre-filing bankruptcy planning, attempting to change non-exempt at-risk assets into exempt assets.
Staying Up To Date on Changes in the Bankruptcy Laws
We have a comprehensive understanding of the changes brought about by the 2005 bankruptcy law and its recent updates. We can help you determine whether you meet the new standards in order to file for discharge of your debt under Chapter 7. Timing of your filing may be very important. We are also familiar with non-bankruptcy alternatives, including your rights under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.
To set up a meeting to discuss your bankruptcy needs or alternatives to bankruptcy, contact our California bankruptcy law firm or call our office at 510-886-5751 (in Castro Valley) or 209-586-0250 (in Twain Harte). We keep flexible hours at our Castro Valley office and can schedule weekend appointments at our Twain Harte office.
We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
