Considering Bankruptcy?
Together We Will Find the Right Option
San Diego Bankruptcy Attorneys
35+ Years Helping Debtors Find the Right Solutions
Filing for bankruptcy can put a stop to foreclosure of your home and harassment from creditors if your petition is approved by the bankruptcy court. Once the court issues an automatic stay, you will be protected from creditor collection efforts, home foreclosure, vehicle repossession, and judgment liens.
However, it is important to note that bankruptcy is not always the right option for everyone. That is why you should consult with our San Diego bankruptcy attorneys first. Bankruptcy is no simple task, and the entire process is complex and can become a major ordeal if it is not properly handled. Filing for bankruptcy requires completing loads of paperwork and numerous appearances in court. Unfortunately, a simple error on a legal form can result in a bankruptcy petition being denied.
When you contact us, we can review your eligibility, answer your questions, and help you avoid any unexpected issues with your bankruptcy case. We are available to review your debt and finances and can prepare you for the process ahead so that you feel confident knowing your best interests are represented. When you choose Debt Relief Legal Clinic to represent you, we make it our top priority to handle all aspects of your case. So you can count on our legal team to be in your corner to address your legal questions or concerns.
Please don’t wait any longer if you are feeling burdened by debt and running out of options. Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may be able to help you eliminate most debts. We are here to use our extensive legal resources and 35+ years of experience to help you get your financial affairs back in order so that you are free from debt. Our legal professionals are personable and extremely knowledgeable, and we will do what it takes to find the right solution to solving your debt problems.

John and his team provide top tier services with a price point that will not set you back. The value is unmatched. I knew I found the right place after my first Zoom meeting with John. After dealing with different attorneys in different arenas, I was a skeptic before meeting John face to face. After our initial meeting all my fears were gone. John is very down to earth and very easy to talk to. I did not sense the slightest hint of ego or intimidation that I have seen with other attorneys. John and his team DELIVERED! I felt that with the guidance and information given to me by this company that I had full confidence in this solution to my challenges. Not only did i have confidence in Johns knowledge of his profession, I had full confidence that all of Johns team were there to support me with any questions or concerns. I feel a thousand pounds lighter after this experience with DRLC and i would send my closest friends and family in their direction if ever the situation arose.- Matthew B.

Mr. John Colwell and his team helped me get through chapter 7 without a glitch! I'm so thankful for the support I received over the past year. I had lots of life changes this past year and I knew what I needed to do financially and who to call. I met Mr. Colwell in 2002 when I needed support and a chapter 7. He also helped my husband with his chapter 13. I was so happy he was still in downtown SD all these years later and available to meet with me when I was ready. Mr. Colwell goes the extra mile for his clients! I really appreciated his time and extra time for a zoom mtg. during covid-19 pandemic to answer my additional questions prior to discharge! Financial Freedom is an awesome feeling! I'm looking forward to what comes next in life!! Won't be making the same mistakes. Live and learn! I recommend it! Thank you so much! Stay safe!

Mr. Colwell and his team were awesome in assisting me through what started as a Chapter 13 and converted to a Chapter 7. They were prompt and reminded me often of what the next requirements were so that I never skipped a beat. The courts know his team and work with them to see to it that matters get resolved quickly. I would encourage anyone considering bankruptcy to contact DRLC first!- Lisa H.

Mr. Colwell is an excellent attorney. Thanks to him, my husband and I have a new start without being mired in credit card debt. He basically held our hands throughout the whole process and made it much less stressful for us. Thank you, Mr. Colwell!- Chris A.

Unfortunately, I had to file BK 13; but luckily, I found Debt Relief Legal Clinic. It was recommended by a friend who was worried about me because I originally filed pro se (without an attorney). I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had continued pro se. (Well, actually I do know: the case would've been dismissed immediately, and I would've been screwed) But the brilliance of this team has kept my case alive for over a year now, and I can't thank them enough! It is truly a "bankruptcy miracle", and you can have one, too. I can't say enough about DRLC, but let me put it simply, You're CRAZY if you use anyone else or represent yourself! ;)- Nadine B.
