About Westgate Law
Westgate law has handled more than 7,000 bankruptcy filings in California and has consulted with more than 20,000 individuals about their debt. Larger firms will take your bankruptcy case (and your money) and then hand it off to a junior associate. Is that really the person you want working to secure your financial future?
We will personally guide you through the complicated bankruptcy process from start to finish. We’ll also help you stay on track after your case is finished. We’re not going to take your money, file your case and then disappear. We know that debt and bankruptcy can be difficult to deal with and we genuinely have an interest helping ease your burden.
Westgate Law will protect you from creditor harassment until your case is filed. We’ll represent you at your hearing and then handle any post-filing issues. Once your case is discharged, we’ll give you a program to get your credit back so you can buy a car or finance a home or education. No other Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney goes to the lengths that Westgate Law goes to assure your financial future.
If you’re facing financial distress, call us today. You’ll speak directly with one of our Los Angeles bankruptcy attorneys — not a receptionist or a junior staff member. We are available seven days a week for FREE consultations. Appointments are available on evenings or weekends.
Keep your home, vehicle and retirement accounts. Stop foreclosure, wage garnishments and creditor harassment. Get your financial life back on track.
