Bankruptcy Attorneys Serving Southern California Since 1970

Earle Hagen began practicing bankruptcy law in California in 1963, established his own practice in 1970, and was joined in practice by his son, Jeffrey Hagen in 1986 before passing away in 2008. Jeffrey is certified in personal and small business bankruptcy law by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization and by the American Bankruptcy Board Of Certification. Jeffrey is experienced in all facets of California and federal bankruptcy laws, and up-to-date with the changes in federal law enacted in 2005.

At The Law Offices Of Hagen & Hagen, our practice is exclusively bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, debtor/creditor rights and remedies and assignments for the benefit of creditors. Because of our specialization, we look for opportunities to develop relationships with attorneys for reciprocal referral relationships.

We practice before the bankruptcy courts of the Central District Of California, which includes the Northern Division in Santa Barbara, the San Fernando Valley Division in Woodland Hills, the Los Angeles Division, the Riverside Division and the Orange County Division in Santa Ana. Though our office is in Woodland Hills, we can handle the majority of a clients' case by e-mail, phone and fax. Do not hesitate to refer a client to us if their bankruptcy petition can be filed in the Central District Of California.

We primarily handle personal Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy and small business bankruptcies. Our most common cases involve Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Please click on our Bankruptcy Practice page for descriptions of the different chapters of bankruptcy and the most common bankruptcy situations we handle.

Should I list my monthly obligations, like my utility bills, in my bankruptcy case if I am current on such payments?

Generally no. If the debtor is current on his or her payment of certain monthly obligations such as utility bills, there is no point in listing the utility company as a creditor. In fact, by listing it as a creditor, it might prompt the utility company to demand a deposit for future services.

Our bankruptcy practice is primarily focused in the Central District Of California, which includes Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Santa Barbara County, Ventura County and San Luis Obispo County. Our Southern California bankruptcy attorneys see clients from all over the greater Los Angeles area and Southern California, including Santa Monica, Long Beach, Anaheim, Pasadena, Orange, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Garden Grove, Irvine, Yorba Linda, Riverside, San Bernardino, Pomona, Torrance, Simi Valley, Mission Viejo, Ontario, Glendora, and Covina. We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.
