We have offices in Glendale California, serving primarily Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, and in Casper, Wyoming serving all of the state of Wyoming.

The attorneys collectively share over 100 years of bankruptcy and litigation experience. We represent debtors, creditors and bankruptcy trustees. We also handle bankruptcy appeals, non-​bankruptcy liquidations and reorganizations, mortgage modifications, business litigation, expert witness work involving bankruptcy law and other matters.

Members of the staff speak English, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Armenian, Cantonese, Cambodian, Cantonese, and Tagalog.

History

Established in 1992.

The Firm handles all types of bankruptcy cases, from consumer Chapter 7 matters involving credit card debts, to complex business reorganizations under Chapter 11 and everything in between. To help consumer homeowners, we are actively pursuing mortgage modifications, Chapter 13 lien stripping, and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act («FDCPA»).

For creditors, the Firm offers a unique perspective and level of experience on both the debtor and creditor sides of each transaction. Services range from filing a bankruptcy Proof of Claim, seeking relief from stay, monitoring the status of a case, to opposing Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 plan confirmation. In consumer cases, the firm is prepared to challenge either the dischargeability of a claim or the debtor’s right to receive a discharge.

Employees of the Firm see themselves as counselors of the law, as well as advocates for our clients.
