Los Angeles Bankruptcy Attorney

I am a los angeles bankruptcy attorney handling bankruptcy cases under all chapters of bankruptcy primarily in Los Angeles, but also in neighboring counties of Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. I have been practicing bankruptcy law in the Los Angeles area since 1991.



As of October 17, 2005 we entered into a new era of bankruptcy laws, both here in Los Angeles, California and across the United States.   Anyone who has been following the new laws knows that this is not going to be pleasant or easy. As attorneys, we are entering a huge unknown as far as how the multitude of new provisions are going to be interpreted by courts which, of course, impacts how we can advise our clients. The new law even goes so far as to instruct attorneys NOT to advise our clients about certain matters and provides penalties for doing so.   While this is arguably unconstitutional, for the time being it sets up all kinds of roadblocks in the attorney-client relationship and imposes liability on attorneys for the accuracy of information that you, the client, provide, necessitating that we undertake extensive and expensive analysis and verification of every piece of information on your bankruptcy papers.

I write all this to let you know that while Congress has seemingly done everything in its power to destroy the rights to which we have become accustomed (and which have had a very positive benefit on society as a whole), to prevent people in need from being able to affordably seek bankruptcy relief, and to prevent bankruptcy attorneys from being able to effectively represent their clients, I am not deterred. My pledge to you is that I will continue to represent you vigorously and protect your rights, whether you are a debtor or a creditor.  I will stay as current as I possibly can on the new developments and interpretations of the new laws and will advise you to the best of my ability, even where Congress says I may not. I will work as hard as I can to make your bankruptcy experience as smooth as possible under the circumstances. I have been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in Los Angeles since 1991 and am affiliated with several networks of attorneys and we are all working together towards the common goal of making the system work for you.

I handle bankruptcy cases primarily in Los Angeles, but also in Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties of California and  in Northern California.
