Questions

Straight answers.

How much does bankruptcy cost in Southern California?

Typical Southern California attorney fees run $1,800–$2,500 for Chapter 7 and $4,000–$5,000 for Chapter 13. Our flat fees are quoted in writing at your free case review — one price, paid once, no hourly billing.

Will I lose my house if I file bankruptcy?

Usually not. California's homestead exemption protects substantial home equity, and Chapter 13 exists specifically to stop foreclosure and catch up arrears. The free case review maps out exactly what's protected.

How fast can filing stop garnishments and collections?

The moment your petition is filed, the automatic stay stops garnishments, levies, lawsuits, and collection calls — by federal law. In emergencies we can file within days.

How bad is bankruptcy for my credit?

Less bad than years of missed payments and judgments. Most Chapter 7 filers see scores recover within 12–24 months, and many qualify for car loans and credit cards far sooner than they expect.
