Bankruptcy filings amped up for the calendar month and Options(2)’>quarter throughout the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s Central District, encompassing seven Southern California counties from San Luis Obispo County to the border of Arizona. In March alone, 1,708 Orange County consumers and business enterprisees filed for bankruptcy protection, an upswing of 47.7% from the prior year and 30% higher than in February. Los Angeles bankruptcy filings totaled 5,190, up 75%; and Riverside/San Bernardino counties recorded 4,078 in March 2010, an increase of over 55%. If you think those totals are scary,  In one day in Riverside this past week alone, there were 1000 filings for bankruptcy!  Unfortunately, attorneys operating bankruptcy “mills” are popping up, like they did with loan modifications, trying to become a bankruptcy lawyer overnight and completely failing. Not only is bankruptcy filing on the rise but so is the number of dismissals due to mistakes when filing for bankruptcy. A bankruptcy attorney has a fiduciary duty to meet with his clients.

 Attorneys who specialize in bankruptices will more than likely continue be busy , and the need for a extremely qualified bankruptcy attorney is growing, says bankruptcy lawyer James D. Zhou. Zhou is partner at the bankruptcy law firm Zhou & Chini, who focuses on chapter 7, chapter, 13 and chapter 11 business bankruptcies in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Los Angeles counties over the past 10 years. “We have seen the need for a qualified bankruptcy attorneys grow as bankruptcy is more complicated since the change of the bankruptcy laws in 2005” says Zhou.

“I think we will continue to see an increase in filings with the rate of foreclosures in Southern California,” he said. “Bankruptcy is a trailing indicator, so the need for a bankruptcy attorney will continue to grow even when the economy rebounds. The bankruptcy attorneys at Zhou & Chini are able to increase their volume of bankruptcy filing and still meet with every client personally. We file every bankruptcy request ourselves thanks to the purchase of the revolutionary IMS Bankruptcy software technology, say’s partner at the bankruptcy law firm Ron Chini. A bankruptcy attorney needs to remain focused, in force(p) and fruitful in helping consumers decide if a chapter 7 or chapter 13 is right for them. At Zhou & Chini the bankruptcy lawyers attempt to deliver a low cost to file bankruptcy while still having the lawyers, not the paralegals do the bankruptcy filing and client consultations. Filing bankruptcy chapter 7 or chapter 13 is broadly the last option for most consumers trying to avoid foreclosure, judgments, wage garnishments or liens. withal, the advantages of filing bankruptcy with a good bankruptcy lawyer and eliminating unsecured credit card debt, medical bills, and 2^nd mortgage liens is significant when someone is working towards a fresh start. Making mistakes when it comes to filing bankruptcy chapter 7 or chapter 13 can be very costly so with kid gloves select a bankruptcy attorney.
