We Help You Regain Financial Stability & Get a Fresh Start

Life’s financial challenges can sometimes become overwhelming, leaving you with debt that feels impossible to repay. If you are struggling with unpaid bills, creditor harassment, wage garnishments, or the risk of foreclosure, bankruptcy may be a viable solution to help you get back on your feet. While bankruptcy often carries a negative stigma, it is actually a powerful legal tool designed to help individuals and businesses regain financial stability and move forward with a clean slate.



At Southern California Attorneys, A.P.C., we understand that debt can be stressful, but you do not have to face it alone. Our experienced bankruptcy lawyers have helped countless individuals and businesses in Ventura eliminate or restructure their debts and reclaim financial control. We can guide you through the bankruptcy process, explain your legal options, and help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Understanding Bankruptcy: Your Path to a Fresh Start

Our firm specializes in helping clients with the three main types of bankruptcy:

  • Chapter 7 (Liquidation Bankruptcy): Ideal for individuals who have limited income and overwhelming debt. This allows you to wipe out most unsecured debts, such as credit card bills and medical expenses, while protecting essential assets under California’s bankruptcy exemptions.
  • Chapter 13 (Debt Reorganization): Designed for those with a regular income who need a structured repayment plan to catch up on debts, such as mortgage arrears or car loans, while keeping their property.
  • Chapter 11 (Business Reorganization): A solution for businesses struggling with debt, allowing them to stay in operation while restructuring financial obligations and repaying creditors over time.

If you are unsure which type of bankruptcy is right for you, our knowledgeable attorneys will assess your financial situation and help you make the best decision for your future.


The Benefits of Filing for Bankruptcy

Filing for bankruptcy provides immediate relief and long-term financial advantages, including:

  • Stopping creditor harassment & collection calls
  • Halting wage garnishments and lawsuits
  • Preventing home foreclosure & vehicle repossession
  • Eliminating or reducing unsecured debt
  • Providing a structured repayment plan for secured debts
  • Rebuilding credit over time with a fresh start

Many people believe that bankruptcy will permanently ruin their credit or cause them to lose everything, but this is not true. In reality, filing for bankruptcy can improve your financial outlook by wiping out or restructuring debts and allowing you to rebuild credit over time.

  • Will I lose all my property if I file for bankruptcy?

    No. California bankruptcy laws allow you to protect certain assets through exemptions. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, many essential assets, such as your home, car, retirement accounts, and personal belongings, may be protected under California’s exemption laws. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can keep all of your property while restructuring your debts into a repayment plan. Our attorneys can help you understand which assets are protected in your specific case.

  • How long does bankruptcy stay on my credit report?

    • A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for up to 10 years.
    • A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for up to 7 years since it involves a repayment plan.

    However, many people start rebuilding their credit within months of filing. By paying bills on time, using secured credit cards, and managing finances responsibly, you can improve your credit score much sooner than expected.

  • Can filing for bankruptcy stop foreclosure, wage garnishments, or creditor harassment?

    Yes. Filing for bankruptcy immediately triggers an "automatic stay," which legally halts all collection efforts, including:


    • Foreclosures – Bankruptcy can pause or prevent foreclosure, giving you time to catch up on payments.
    • Wage garnishments – Bankruptcy stops wage deductions from creditors.
    • Creditor harassment & lawsuits – Creditors are legally required to stop calling, suing, or demanding payment.

    If you are facing foreclosure, wage garnishment, or aggressive creditor actions, bankruptcy may be a powerful solution to regain control of your finances.
