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.

I want to start this review off by saying I LOVE JC LAW GROUP! Jeena Cho and Jeff Curl are two of…read morethe best attorney's I've ever met, and this is after having worked around corporate lawyers most of my young life in business. My story isn't as sad as some. But it was equally as painful and troubling for me. I didn't lose my job. I have a job. My medical conditions didn't put me in dire circumstances. But I wanted to LIVE... Really Live. I was tired of seeing my credit card interest pile up. Tired of hearing my friends tell me how their lines of credit got cut after the financial industry started pulling back lines of credit and completely changing the rules without telling anyone already in the game. I got tired of visiting people and seeing them not answer the phone because of the collection agent who doesn't display their phone numbers but wants to pay debts that have surpassed the statute of limitations. And I finally got tired of paying everyone but myself or planning for my future. So after I became underemployed (losing 30% of my income unexpectedly) after having purchased a new home that I worked my entire life to dream about getting and finally got. I was researching lawyers about getting my financial life back on track. Then...Thank God I met Jeena Cho. She gave me a friendly smile, let me know that I was normal. NORMAL not someone careless or irresponsible. In fact, I was finally becoming SMART. Taking the steps to change my financial life were the smartest decisions I've ever made! I met Jeena about 6 months before meeting Jeff, but it was just enough time for me to learn from her how to put together my thoughts to prepare for this very important decision, which was to file bankruptchy. I admit that meeting Jeena and Jeff are responsible for the decisions navigating the life changing that affect me. I met with Jeff and Jeena and ever since was pleased with the legal advice provided to me, and at a very reasonable cost. For less than I imagined I was able to discharge several thousands of dollars (yes, 6-figure) debt. I learned as well as got so much revealed to me in the process. I pulled together my records and even though I didn't think I'd be eligible for a Chapter 7 discharge, I WAS! They helped me see how this credit that I've always taken for granted worked and put me in the mindset of many in the country now following advice from financial gurus like Suze Orman and Dave Ramsay. I knew that I couldn't keep paying interest rates on cards that won't go down until I'm six-feet under. I recently received my discharge and its a dream come true. I thought I"d be very insecure about even filing. And the notorious meeting of creditors wasn't even nearly as scary as I thought. Mostly because I had JC Law Group at my side (Jeff Curl attended the meeting with me). I grew up overnight in that meeting and was so happy they prepared me for the decisions I've made and the responsibilities I would face, and look forward to living a life free from debt. I'm so happy I filed because especially in this economy where even people in my family who have had credit scores over 800 are having trouble getting loans. Freeing myself of burdens and getting a fresh-start is the best thing I could hope to have. Now I can focus on my life. And yes, I was afraid. I got to keep my new home which I love; I got to keep the timeshare that I worked hard to purchase. I entered into the relationship honestly and with faith, and now, honestly and faithfully I am debt-free, understand the credit game more and won't find myself in that predicament ever again. So if you're reading this review hesitating. DON'T because in 90 days you can be DEBT-FREE TOO! Believe me. you can email me and ask me if you're unsure. I'm not sorry at all. IN FACT, I'M DANCING AS I WRITE THIS REVIEW. I LOVE JC LAW GROUP!

As someone who has hired him and frequently referred others to him in the past, I turned to Andrew during a recent severe housing and health crisis. Due to my complete panic, he immediately stepped in to strategically guide me from behind the scenes. When our landlords threatened an illegal constructive eviction, Andrew drafted the precise script required to hold our legal counsel accountable and demand a reservation of rights letter. Furthermore, he devised a brilliant plan that allowed us to move safely while retaining physical control of our lease and keys--a crucial detail other lawyers overlooked. Anticipating how the situation would unfold before a judge, Andrew's foresight was entirely accurate. His guidance ultimately led to the landlords being caught red-handed in an illegal physical lockout documented by the police, significantly strengthening our position in settlement negotiations. With Andrew Cantor on your side, you gain a brilliant legal mind, exceptional instincts, and a calm, protective shield during a crisis. He is not only a wonderful attorney but an even better person!

Long story short - got the temporary restraining order back in December 2024, wonderful choice of direction some people choose to solve business disputes. I looked around and picked Andrew as my counsel. Nice and friendly interview, practicing family/civil law, plus more than a hundred 5-star reviews (for an attorney) -- what else do you need, right? Besides, having backups of texts, emails, paperwork going back for more than three years and reading through utterly ridiculous affidavit filed against me, I haven't had a single worry on my mind. Until the final hearing 15 months later. and... The most disappointing, hurtful, and insufferable element in the outcome of this case is not the adjudication but rather - Andrew's covert yet egregious abuse of my trust - "I really want you win. I'm doing my best to make it happen. I know you are the good guy here" yadayadayada. - his persistent lying and gaslighting about pretty much everything case-related. "Did you read my email? - Yes, sure! - Ok, which point do you prefer? - Oh, I don't know yet, I'll read it again later". Of course he didn't read it because Mailtrack (the email tracking addon which shows whether an you sent got read or an attachment got opened, etc) I finally installed in Gmail just to see what's going on, it showed "not read yet" - he would open an email in question five to ten minutes after a nudge yet pay no attention to the attachments as if the evidence documents attached were the least of your concern (that turned to be the case after all). - his flagrant lack of even a modicum of professional integrity - he didn't pay attention to anything happening with my case, facing a rather aggressive counsel on the opposite side who's been bombarding me with the delays, contempts, motions this and motions that - he just attended hearings and gaslighted me about "there's nothing we can do here" - he constantly failed to even let me know about the new court documents filed by the opposing party - I had to set a reminder/alarm for myself to check the case log via court's website on a daily basis just to make sure I won't miss the new filings. - he picked twelve pieces of evidence (primarily business convos related) out of more than 70 available (one-on-one communications disproving each allegation one after another), told me I don't need witnesses, disregarded testimonies of witnesses on the opposite side, yeah.... - his lack of responsibility and preparedness illustrated by "I have no idea what's going on here" conduct in the courtroom where the commissioner felt compelled to raise a few objections herself to stop opposing counsel's inappropriate line of questioning. He was peacefully staring at the ceiling meanwhile. - his lack of self-reflection in regard to his mistakes or mostly shortcomings - he prefers to blame it all on everybody else around: petitioner, opposing counsel, judge, weather, and me of course (apparently I was too nervous and yet he had full list of my medical conditions and medications but didn't bother informing the commissioner about it). - his "it's your problem" attitude which became clearly evident when you failed to mumble out a single word to explain the reasoning for my remote participation (which has angered the judge beyond belief) at first evidentiary hearing, My mother had a stroke two days prior and after spending ~ 40 sleepless hours sitting in some waiting room at the CPMC Van Ness while she's been going through three separate cranial/brain surgeries. I kept him aware of each and every development, even the minor ones, sent him doctors' correspondence to show to the judge - he didn't bother until the hearing started and judge began yelling. - his complete obliviousness to opposing counsel's conduct and her complete disregard to attorney's candor rules. He hasn't even bothered to react to her literally screaming some despicable bs at the judge like "respondent's lying! He's not at any hospital! I know it because his car didn't leave the driveway in the last five days". Well, my car hasn't left the driveway for more than seven months - the battery's been dead ever since but.... rejoice! There's Uber and I did send even the freaking trips receipts. Nah, he didn't even bother to raise the question the source of info re: where my car is (not geoloc for sure, battery's _dead_ dead) - his unprofessional, childish tantrums where he would let himself to literally yell at me or ask me questions like "are you bipolar or is it OCD?" - and so on. To sum it up - if you are determined to snatch a life-destroying defeat from the jaws of victory (for the lack of better words) and pay a ton of $$$ for it, then Andrew is your top choice.

I wish it were possible to give negative stars on Yelp, but I also wish I could have a lemon-yellow…read moreLotus Elise to do my grocery runs, as it's the perfect stylish SF errand car. Tom Burns is so incompetent that, even as bad as he f**ked me over, I still ended up feeling sorry for him,. Seriously, dude, just put the bag over your head and end it already! I was in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which-- for those of you fortunate enough to have never been through this process, and thus don't know the finer points-- means you are making scheduled payments to satisfy a portion of your debts, instead of discharging them outright, as you would in Chapter 7. The reason for this is that taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy unless the returns have been on file for two years prior to your filing, and mine weren't. It's a nitty-gritty technicality, I know-- but the devil is in the details. And understanding details is why you get paid as a lawyer. And yes, I told Burns about my tax status, but he didn't listen 'cuz he didn't think it important. It was. I can give you 90,000 reasons why. So, I owed the IRS and California $90,000 in taxes on hypothetical profits I never actually saw in the dot-com days. I had declared bankruptcy in 2005 and had that debt reduced to about $10,000 of the principal, to be paid over five years. And I made my scheduled payments regularly for three years. Well, when the housing bubble popped in 2008, I lost my job again, and could no longer make my scheduled payments. I got something like three payments behind. All I needed was for an attorney to stand up for me at the court and ask for a modified plan, to defer some payments and roll them into larger payments when I got working again. Three years into a five-year plan, with a good payment history, I had a slam dunk shot at approval of a modification; I just needed to go through the process. Instead, Tom Burns had the idea that we could convert my Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7 and get rid of my debts for good and all. I told him, based on my tax situation and my understanding of the law, that this wouldn't work. Mr. Tom Burns, Esquire, became bitchy and impatient, and told me to just follow his advice. I knew it was a bad idea, but he was the lawyer.... Well, as soon as we did what he advised and converted my case to a 7, yes, my minor credit card and consumer debt, approximately $8,000, got discharged, but the full amount of the tax debt came back, all $90,000. And when I corresponded with him about his error in advice, he told me just to accept it. He said he had come into the case late, and didn't understand the facts of my case or the applicable law. This despite the fact that I had tried to tell him, and he wouldn't listen. Ooops! Tom Burns never took the time to understand either the actual facts of my case nor the applicable law-- which is pretty much the definition of malpractice. More to the point, if the assumptions he had made-- in absence of actually understanding the facts of my case-- were true, I would have been in a Chapter 7 to begin with. Tom Burns has a law degree from the commuter college at Golden Gate University. He should have taken the medical assistant track, which I've heard is excellent. In meeting with him, I noted he has a very hard time absorbing and synthesizing facts and aligning them with a legal strategy, which is a core part of being an attorney. Burns, like many incompetent people, is extremely unpleasant and rude to his clients. He obviously hates the practice of law precisely because he is just no damn good at it. I heartily hope Tom Burns finds a profession he likes and is suited to, but practicing law just ain't it. Maybe he could get a job washing cars at the Lotus dealership....
