Areas of practice
Filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Eliminate many types of debt, including:
• Credit card bills
• Medical debt
• Lawsuits and judgments
• Deficiency judgments after foreclosure or vehicle repossession
• Certain taxes
Bankruptcy under Chapter 7 is known as “liquidation.” Under Chapter 7, my clients usually keep all or most of their property and/or home equity through California’s generous exemption scheme. If filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy makes legal and practical sense for you, we will prepare your petition and schedules and file them with the bankruptcy Court. At this point, the automatic stay will go into effect. Any further communications from your creditors will have to go through our office.
Filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy under Chapter 13 is commonly referred to as the “wage earner plan.” Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows my clients to reorganize their debt to repay all or a portion of their credit cards, taxes and past due mortgage and vehicle payments over a 3 to 5 year period.

"Filing bankruptcy is a scary process, the lawyer you choose makes the difference of a successful or frustrating outcome. Terrence was easy to work with, affordable, listens to you, had great communication and is very knowledgeable. Alicia, his assistant is great; always answers the phone and takes care of your needs. Terrence helped me take advantage of the BK laws available on how to file and I was amazed at the outcome. I totally recommend you contact Terrence if you are considering filing BK. Thank you very much Terrence!"

" Terrence was very professional and kind the whole way through this process of filing. I went to see three other BK lawyers and felt uneasy and scared to do this, but once I met Terence I knew right away I would be in good hands, and till the very end received excellent service & communication especially with his team member Alicia. You are definitely top of mind as a referral if I hear anyone that needs your services. Thank you guys for EVERYTHING you did to help me! "
