While we didn't end up working together as bankruptcy was not applicable to my situation, I rarely in this day and age meet any professional in any sector that I don't at least experience some anxiety and reservation over.

The Bankruptcy Center did for me what no other firm would even try to do…read more Life happens and before I knew it, I was drowning in debt. I had contacted several law firms to see about bankruptcy. They all told me the same thing; I earned too much money to file chapter 7. They said my only option was chapter 13. I filed chapter 13 with another firm. After several months I realized I could not afford the payments to the bankruptcy trustee. What was worse, the trustee decided that I could pay more and raised the amount of the monthly payment. Eventually, my case was dismissed. I was now back where I started. I had read the bankruptcy law, and I understood the means test, but not a single firm would take me on as a chapter 7. At this point I was just thinking that maybe I could file chapter 13 again but have a lower monthly payment to the trustee. It was obvious that I could not afford the payments outlined in my last filing. I contacted the Bankruptcy Center and met with Allan. I explained my situation to him and stressed that if I could just get a lower payment to the court, I should be able to discharge the bankruptcy. A few days after this meeting I received a call from Allen. He said that considering my financial situation that chapter 7 would be a better option. I explained to him that all the other firms I had contacted told me that wasn't an option due to my income. He explained that regardless of my income, at the end of the month I had no money left due to other expenses.  The Bankruptcy Center filed my case as a chapter 7 bankruptcy and three days ago my dept was discharged. I can't not tell you how it feels to have a fresh start. I think of all those other firms that told me it couldn't be done because I earned too much money. I'll be forever grateful to Allan and John for putting in the extra time and attention into my case.  If you find yourself in a similar situation, give these guys a call.

If you are already dealing with the shame spiral of credit issues, you need and can get help. We hit that wall and I was lucky enough to have the Cline Law Group pop up first when I searched for a BK attorney in Oakland. Jake is incredibly patient, understanding, and kind through all steps of the process. Need a question answered? He'll set up a Zoom within a couple of days. Think it's going to be a nightmare to get all the info you'll need and submit it? It's not easy but... it was nothing compared to what we imagined. Jake walked us through each step. Jake and his father have been doing this in Oakland for decades. That means you have an attorney very familiar with the local trustees, what they will be looking at, and how to have a successful filing. You will not believe the relief you will feel once you get guidance and learn exactly what to do next. We are now in Chapter 13 and making our monthly payments on schedule. We reached out in early January 2025, were advised to wait until after we filed our 2024 taxes so the process didn't start until March and we are now 6 payments in our plan. No more collection notices, no more phone calls, just one easy payment. Highly recommend!
