At JC Law Group, the work done as your San Francisco bankruptcy attorney is guided by two core principles -- maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethics, and delivering first-rate legal services that achieve desired results. Our attorneys Jeena Cho and Jeff Curl bring excellent professional skills and judgment to each phase of representation.

- Personally attend the § 341 meeting of creditors with our clients unless of an emergency.
- Personally prepare all bankruptcy petitions; we do not use paralegals or document preparers.
- Explain to clients with secured debts all of the following rights:
- to retain the security with continued ongoing payments in accordance with applicable case law;
- to redeem the security by motion or negotiation;
- to reaffirm the underlying debt, along with the risks of incurring future deficiency claims; and
- to surrender the security.
- Represent the debtor in matters brought under 11 U.S.C. § 707(a) (certain motions for dismissal of a client’s case brought by the trustee or creditors).

- Ensure that creditors, collection agents, and attorneys provided by the debtor are notified of the case filing.
- Notify levying officers or agencies in order to stop evictions, foreclosures, wage garnishments, bank levies, and other asset seizures in effect on the petition filing date, as appropriate.
- As appropriate and necessary, where requested by the client:
- negotiates with a secured creditor to confirm the enforceability of the security interest and the redemption value of said security;
- files a motion to set the value and redeem said security; or
- negotiates a reaffirmation agreement having fully advised the debtor of the legal effect and consequences of the agreement.
- Based upon new information provided by the debtor or confirmed by the debtor, files signed amendments to the petition, schedules and other documents.
- Review motions for relief from the automatic stay, communicate with the client regarding them, respond to such motions where necessary, and appears in court on behalf of the debtor where necessary.
- Represent the debtor with regard to objections to claims of exemption.

What your San Francisco bankruptcy lawyer will not do:
- We do not bait-and-switch clients at consultations and have them meet with a paralegal or other staff. We conduct all consultations.
- We do not use staff to prepare your documents. Your case is handled by attorneys only.
- We do not file on a volume basis. JC Law Group prides itself as San Francisco bankruptcy attorneys on attention to detail based on each clients’ individual circumstances.
