We encounter clients that experience a variety of difficulties beyond their control, including job loss, underemployment, divorce, medical expenses, a business that is failing due to the economy and a many other financial difficulties. Debt settlement or bankruptcy can offer solutions to creditor harassment and overwhelming debt caused by these circumstances.

Many clients express a concern about the stigma of bankruptcy. Our clients are parents, business owners and active members of their communities from all walks of life; they are hardworking, honest and simply have reached a breaking point with their debt. Whether you are an individual, family or business owner, our attorneys can discuss all debt settlement and bankruptcy options available to you so that you can get a fresh start.

What to expect during your meeting

Prior to your consultation, we will ask you to fill out a short questionnaire and disclosure that will help us focus on the issues relevant to your circumstances. Your consultation with a San Mateo bankruptcy lawyer will last approximately 45 minutes. During your meeting, we will review the following:
  1. Your personal financial situation
  2. Whether bankruptcy is appropriate, and if so, which chapter
  3. Any alternatives to bankruptcy
  4. Exemption issues (what you can keep through bankruptcy)
  5. Cost of filing
  6. Anything else relevant to your circumstances
Our goal is to give you a comprehensive overview of the bankruptcy process and answer any questions you may have. We find that many of our clients come in with misconceptions about bankruptcy (See Bankruptcy Myths)

The purpose of your meeting a San Mateo bankruptcy attorney is to see if bankruptcy is an appropriate solution for your situation. Bankruptcy is a big decision, and our job as bankruptcy attorneys is to arm you with the information you need to make an informed decision.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy. It cancels most types of debt, but the debtor has to let the bankruptcy trustee liquidate (sell) his or her nonexempt property for the benefit of the creditors. Most people who use Chapter 7 get to keep all their property, with exceptions.   More >>

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 allows debtors to keep their property and repay some or all of their debt over three to five years. At the end of repayment period, unsecured debts are discharged. If you are behind on your mortgage payments, this may be the best
option to keep your home. You may even be able to "strip" off your second (or HELOC) mortgage.  More >>
