Welcome
Congratulations! Welcome to our website. We realize that this can quite a challenge. Up to now you have likely been overwhelmed with phone calls and letters from bill collectors and sales people offering everything from debt settlement programs to loan modifications in the Concord area. As you may have noticed, many of these companies are from outside the area, and some may not even be genuine. In your research you may also have come across websites promoting "local lawyers". What they don’t tell you is that they are simply a referral service that sells your information to any number of firms for around $50 regardless of whether they are in fact a bankruptcy attorney located in Walnut Creek. Once they have your information, you become the proverbial sardine in the seal tank. The feeding frenzy of phone calls only adding to the stress you already feel, making it even more challenging to decide what is best for you. Now you can rest assured that you have found a Concord bankruptcy lawyer who is reputable, professional and will provide you with superior legal representation at a fair price.

Our Philosophy
Though it may appear so, not all Bankruptcy lawyers are the same. Some firms operate high volume practices where their primary objective to sign up as many cases as possible and spend very little time on each client. It is common for firms like these to not even take the time to send their own attorneys to represent you in your case. For any required appearances, they will likely hire third-party lawyers to appear for them. This is especially common in cases where the firm is located outside of your geographical area. Should you sign up with one of these firms, you are likely to have minimal access to your attorney and if you are dissatisfied with their service you will likely have a very difficult time getting your money back. Another problem to be aware of, is attorney referral services who simply sell your request as a lead to one of the record number of new bankruptcy lawyers, many of whom have only recently entered the bankruptcy field and lack experience.

Not only do we offer you our years of experience, but also the expertise and accessibility you need to make a challenging situation easier to manage. You can be confident, knowing that we will put care and attention into your case so that you are able to achieve your goals. You will be able to speak directly with the Stan Riddle as he and his team put a every effort into your case.

Pricing
The guidelines for the Bankruptcy Legal industry are to offer Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases for flat fees as a prevailing practice. Generally you should not see much difference in price from one firm to the next. You should expect to find that a typical Chapter 7 will be priced from $1,000 to $2,000 plus a Court filing fee of $306. The pricing at our firm falls well within this range for a Chapter 7 case. Our quoted price will be based largely on the complexity of your specific situation. The exact costs associated with your case will always be provided to you as part of our free consultation.

Warning: You should always be wary of firms that advertise rates below this range. Such low rates are generally a sign that they are either a non-lawyer document preparer, a "high-volume/scarcely accessible" firm OR a firm that is struggling to get clients in the door. Our advice is to hire the attorney in whom you have the most confidence and that you believe you will enjoy working with. This approach will serve you better than ending up with "buyer’s remorse" by trying to save a little money.
