Questions
What's the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 eliminates unsecured debts through asset liquidation while Chapter 13 creates repayment plans. Our attorneys help determine which option best fits your financial situation and goals.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure proceedings?
Yes, filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay that immediately halts foreclosure, giving you time to catch up on payments or restructure your mortgage through Chapter 13.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we provide no-obligation free consultations via phone, Skype, or in-person to evaluate your eligibility for bankruptcy protection and discuss alternative debt solutions.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all of Southern California including North County, Inland Empire, East County, and South Bay regions from our Carlsbad headquarters.
How much does bankruptcy cost?
Costs vary by case complexity. Chapter 7 typically ranges $1,200-$3,500 while Chapter 13 has court-approved 'no look fees' around $3,600-$4,500, with payment plans available.
Can you help with debt collector harassment?
Yes, we enforce your rights under FDCPA and RFDCPA laws, stopping illegal collection practices and pursuing compensation for harassment through legal action.
