Bankruptcy

I will take any clients or cases, no matter how unusual. I handle consumer and non-consumer bankruptcies, defense against adversary claims, and prosecution of adversary/non-dischargeability claims. I handle Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 bankruptcies. I represent debtors and creditors. I have no preference for types of cases, being equally happy to handle routine matters or complex issues.

California Supreme Court, United States District Courts for the Central and Northern Districts of California, United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California.

California State Bar and Los Angeles County Bar Association.

I review "Advance Tapes" by Professor Steven Finz, who publishes monthly "tort and personal injury law" and "civil procedure and evidence" hour-long recordings discussing current decisions in the California courts of appeal and Supreme Court. I attend seminars annually, and I constantly review guides in my practice areas to keep up-to-date with changes in the law.

I recently handled a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case in which a second trust deed mortgage was "stripped," therefore converted to unsecured debt on the debtor's family home. Then the debtor's plan was confirmed. When the plan is completed, his debts totaling over $100,000 will be discharged and he will own his home free and clear of his second trust deed.

In another bankruptcy matter, a debtor who owned a home in foreclosure was trying to represent himself. His case was dismissed, and the foreclosure sale was to occur the next day. He contacted me for help and within 16 hours, I filed a new bankruptcy, prevented the foreclosure sale and helped him get a Chapter 13 plan confirmed. We saved his home and he is back on track to a fresh start.

Information coming soon.

I handle all facets of bankruptcy law. I am also well-versed in and willing to handle general civil litigation, torts, family law, criminal defense, civil rights litigation, and appellate practice. I am a general practitioner with more than 17 years of experience in all of these fields.

My firm was established in 1991, and I have been a sole practitioner since I began practicing law. I have varied and broad experience, having represented hundreds of clients over the years. Over the years I have handled pretty much every aspect of bankruptcy litigation and many types of civil litigation, torts, family law, criminal defense, civil rights litigation, as well as handling appeals in state and federal courts.

My firm was established in 1991. I have been a sole practitioner since I began practicing law.

I have served as a Judge Pro Tem in Los Angeles County Superior Court. I used to provide pro bono services to Pomona Valley Legal Services (legal aid in the area of family law). However, due to loss of funding, that service shut down several years ago.
