Practice Areas Overview

The Los Angeles Bankruptcy Firm helps clients through bankruptcy and bankruptcy litigation in Los Angeles County and across Southern California.  Within the Bankruptcy Code, different options are available depending upon the type of debtor and the nature and amount of debt.  For instance, a Chapter 7 may be available to either an individual consumer or to a business, whereas Chapter 13 is only for consumers and Chapter 11 is primarily for businesses or consumers not eligible for Chapter 13 because of large amounts of debt.  For a consumer, choosing either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 can have drastically different outcomes.  We advise clients on the differences, such as what types of debts are dischargeable and nondischargeable and what assets may be exempt from sale.  We can also help determine your eligibility for the different chapters.

Our office is here to advise you on the different options available and then to represent you through the appropriate proceeding, including filing all required paperwork, meeting with creditors, appearing before the bankruptcy judge or court-appointed trustee, and handling any contested matters or adversary proceedings that arise in the course of a bankruptcy.

The firm handles a wide range of business and consumer bankruptcy matters, focusing primarily on the following:

• Chapter 7
• Chapter 13
• Chapter 11
• Bankruptcy Litigation
