Los Angeles Bankruptcy Lawyers
Bankruptcy Remains A Viable Option For Most People.
Significant changes in the federal bankruptcy laws were enacted in 2005. However, there has been much overreaction and misleading information about what these changes mean to the average American. Bankruptcy is still available as a remedy for most people, including Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 individual debt adjustment plans. The changes in the law do require additional documentation and credit counseling, but only those with the highest incomes are precluded from filing Chapter 7 under the new laws. Other forms of bankruptcy include Chapters 9, 11, 12 & 15.
You Don't Need To Come To Our Office.
Although our offices are located in Encino, California we serve clients in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California. While we encourage our clients to come into the office so we can meet, a bankruptcy filing can be accomplished entirely by phone and through the mail. You do not need to be physically present.
Filing For Bankruptcy Doesn't Have To Be Painful.
Bankruptcy filers are not alone. Over one million American bankruptcy petitions are filed each year, and the Central District of California usually leads the nation in filings. Many bankruptcies are caused by circumstances truly outside of the debtor's control, such as catastrophic illnesses and injuries, termination from employment, and loss of a lawsuit. Whether your financial troubles stem from credit card debt, student loan debt, medical debt or any other cause, you should consider the option of filing for bankruptcy.
