Loss of a job, illness, injury, or divorce can upset the financial balance in almost anyone's life. If you are facing overwhelming debt, you need the help of an experienced Santa Clarita bankruptcy lawyer.

Common Myths about Bankruptcy
Many people believe that filing bankruptcy will ruin their credit for 10 years. This is not true. Bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for up to 10 years, but that does not mean that your credit rating will suffer for that long. For many people, filing bankruptcy helps them get control of their finances and start paying bills on time. This improves their credit rating, and the recovery process can take as little as 2 years. Our knowledgeable Santa Clarita bankruptcy lawyer can help you decide if either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the right option, or if other debt solutions might be recommended for you. Our goal is to provide you with the legal option that will best serve your needs in resolving your debt problems.
Another common myth is that changes to the bankruptcy law in 2005 made it difficult for most people to file for bankruptcy. Although the law did change, in fact, approximately 95% of the people who would have qualified for Chapter 7 before 2005 would still qualify today. We know how daunting and overwhelming debt can be.
