Bankruptcy Lawyer

Los Angeles Bankruptcy Attorney

Los Angeles Bankruptcy AttorneyPeople file for bankruptcy for many reasons. They may have high medical bills or have suffered job loss. They may be facing foreclosure on their home or repossession of their vehicle or other property. Their debts may outweigh their assets. Both federal and state laws play a major role in bankruptcy, and it can be an extremely intricate process. Our Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney can help you through your bankruptcy from the time you file your petition to the discharge of your debts.

One of the first things with which our bankruptcy attorney in Los Angeles will assist you when you are considering bankruptcy is finding the appropriate provider for mandatory credit counseling by a United States Trustee's Office-approved credit counseling agency. Credit counseling is required for both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies.

Our Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney will also help you determine which chapter of bankruptcy best fits your situation. Most individuals who file for bankruptcy will choose either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. The means test in which you will compare your income to the median income in California will help you determine which is the best fit.

Bankruptcy Attorney Los Angeles

Although many people worry they will lose everything once they file for bankruptcy, state and federal laws provide for exemptions. California allows for two separate sets of property exemptions. You will be able to choose which set will best fit your needs. Because you cannot mix and match, you may find it difficult to decide. Our bankruptcy attorney in Los Angeles will help you understand the differences between the two so that you can choose the one that's right for you.

Finally, once you do file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will need to take a debtor education course. It should be approved by the United States Trustee's Office just like the credit counseling course, and this must take place before the discharge.

Although there are many different steps on the path to completing the bankruptcy process, our experienced Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney will be by your side every step of the way. Although the procedure may be intimidating, you should know that more than a million people file for bankruptcy every year and receive an opportunity to start over again.
