Wadhwani & Shanfeld

Wadhwani & Shanfeld is truly a 5-​star firm. Specializing in Estate Planning Law & Bankruptcy Law.

Finding the right attorney to help you can be a harrowing experience especially when it comes to bankruptcy. There’s a lot of misinformation out there so it is hard to know who to trust. Choosing Wadwani & Shanfeld to represent me in my Chapter 13 bankruptcy case was the best decision I could ever make to start over again and resolve the enormous stress of my financial circumstances. Greg Shanfeld who took on my case was amazingly strategic and smart and created my initial plan that passed the confirmation process beautifully. Greg’s associate Kristen Kish who shepherded me through the rest of the process was really amazing. Kristen’s experience and expertise really showed. I never felt in the dark, even during some critical moments in the case. Kristen always got back to me in a timely manner and was clear and reassuring. In fact, all the administrative staff especially Karina Mooradian and Jocelyn Aguilar were friendly and always responsive. In the end, I am extremely grateful to Greg and Kristen for all their work in getting my Chapter 13 bankruptcy case approved. It’s a long process and one that also involves you putting in a 100% — dotting your i’s and crossing your t’s on all the paperwork along the way– but it is a huge relief! I can finally move forward with my life and make the monthly payments to successfully discharge my Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you are in the Los Angeles area and are considering bankruptcy I would look no further than Wadwani & Shanfeld. They have the capacity, care and experience to get it done right!

I had a Great experience with Raj and his team at Wadhwani & Shanfeld, A Prof. Law Corp. The most professional group I expect to find in the state of California. I had an issue with my bankruptcy case. Raj and his team quickly came up with a solution and a game plan to resolve the issue as quickly and painless as possible. Although the process was time consuming, due to no fault of their own but with the court systems itself, we were able to make things rights and closed the case sooner rather than later. I will definitely recommend Wadhwani & Shanfeld, A Prof. Law Corp. to my friends and family.

Working with Wadhwani & Shanfeld could not have been easier! Especially for someone who has no financial planning background, and doesn’t come from any form of wealth, when it came to getting my own personal finances in order I was (and still might be) pretty green. Although not experienced, I feel confident that I will be on the right path for financial success with the guidance of the best in the business.
The Team at Wadhwani & Shanfeld are easygoing and always willing to work around my budget when it was needed. I am looking forward to returning to the firm when it is time for the next phase of my financial plan!
Thank you, Greg and Team!

After 5 long years my Chapter 13 is finally over. Karine helped me get through this experience and was very professional and diligent throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend Wadhwani & Shanfeld to others who may have to go down this road.

I just had my chapter 7 bankruptcy case discharged in January 7^th. It was through a referral that I came upon Wadhwani & Shanfeld. I had no clue what to expect nor what I was in for. Greg Shanfeld answered all of my questions in the simplest way and made it an informative and comfortable process. My consultation was over the phone and it was thorough. Greg, his partner and their staff were communicative throughout the process. Nicole was awesome at the hearing. Very sociable and kept me informed on what was going to happen and was attentive throughout the hearing. I was not there alone and it showed and I felt it. I must definitely say that the service I received was great! I went into court only once and the rest was taken care of! Wadhwani & Shanfeld really care about their clients and having their cases done correctly with real professionals. I definitely went to the right people. I’m at ease. I know who I will be referring should anyone need representation. Thank you all very much.

Wonderful office with wonderful people!!! Everyone that I came into contact with was well versed in regards to my issues and they answered my million and one questions. No pressure, very professional and economical. Love Greg and his staff. Will be going back for living trust.

This law firm was professional and patient, and understanding from the very start. Greg Shanfeld is the best, he is very patient and really knows his stuff. They were also very knowledgeable and we got the entire bankruptcy done virtually painlessly and much more easily than I expected. I was also treated with complete respect from start to finish. Now I have a fresh start and all my debts are discharged. They even helped me begin to re-​establish my credit. I highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking advice regarding debt problems or a bankruptcy. Do yourself a favor and go there first.

I was contemplating bk and was having just a hard time making a decision to go through with it. Greg Shanfeld helped me through the process and assured me that all would be ok. The time he spent walking me through everything and answering all of my questions really helped me get through my anxiety about the whole process. He always returned my phone calls and spent time explaining everything thoroughly. The whole process from start to finish was done expeditiously and efficiently! My friends recommended us to them, and I am glad they did!

My Chapter 7 just discharged and I am more than happy with service I received from Greg Shanfeld and his assistant, Lindsay, during my case. I recommend Wadhwani & Shanfeld to anyone looking to file bankruptcy, and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.
I initially called the office for basic information and was immediately transfered to Greg Shanfeld for a free phone consultation. He was extremely thorough and answered all of my questions. He spent a solid 30 minutes explaining the process to me and crunched some debt numbers. He explained the fees, process and told me to contact them when I was ready to file. There was no pressure. I called back a month later to get the process rolling.
Initially for chp. 7 you will need to gather all of your financial info. (pay stubs, taxes, property holdings, etc.) I also ordered a free credit report to check that everything was accurate and that I didn’t miss anything. The office will pull your credit report as well. Honestly, gathering the paperwork was the hardest part of this whole process and only because it was time consuming and tedious.
Once I got all of my financial papers to Greg everything rolled along quickly. Shortly after the case was filed I received my court appearance date (approx. 4 – 6 weeks after paperwork is filed). It isn’t even court. You simply report to an office building in downtown LA and sit in a room with a lot of other people in the same boat as you. You wait for your name to be called. An attorney from the office will be there with you, but I honestly did not need him. Go early and sit and listen to the other cases. Everyone gets asked the same questions. By the time your name is called you will know exactly what to expect.
When your name is called you go up to a desk, they check your ID, ask you a few basic yes/​no questions, call out to see if any of your creditors showed up and that’s it. I was literally up there for about 45 seconds during my turn. Most everyone’s appearance took about a minute. If you were honest in your paperwork and have everything in order, you will be done in less than a minute as well.
Nothing happened for two months after my appearance and then my case was discharged and over with. I guess it takes a while for a judge to review cases and sign off. Once my case was filed with the courts, it was discharged in approximately 3 months.
The process was really quite painless. Greg, Lindsay and I did everything via e-​mail, postal mail and phone. I never stepped foot in their office even once. Greg did say that I had a very easy, basic case though. Mine was all credit card debt. I own no properties or businesses. I was able to keep my car no problem. I would highly recommend chp. 7 to anyone contemplating it. I was already ruining my credit with late/​missed payments on the CCs and I was never going to get them paid off. Bk simply made sense and Greg reassured me that there were many others out there like me.
Give them a call. It was some of the best money I ever spent and Greg did EVERYTHING for me. I simply signed a few documents, made my 45 second appearance and that was it.
