Serving Santa Ana, California
Santa Ana estate planning, tax and bankruptcy.
Estate planning, tax and bankruptcy advice for Santa Ana. Santa Ana is also where the courts that hear these matters actually sit.
If you file bankruptcy anywhere in Orange County, your case is heard in the Santa Ana division of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. If a probate is opened, it goes to the Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana. For Santa Ana residents, that means the court is local even when the lawyer is not.
The office is in Newport Beach, about twenty minutes away, and consultations happen by phone and video as well as in person.
In practice
What Santa Ana clients usually come in with
- 01
Wage garnishment already in progress, where filing triggers the automatic stay and stops it.
- 02
A probate that has to be opened because a parent died without a trust, or with a trust that was signed but never funded.
- 03
Tax debt alongside consumer debt, where the order of operations between an offer in compromise and a bankruptcy filing decides the outcome.
The firm does not keep an office in Santa Ana. It keeps one office, in Newport Beach, and serves clients across the state. That is said plainly here because a page claiming a local presence that does not exist is not worth reading.
