Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger

Specialties

Law Office specializing in Bankruptcy Litigation

I am a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law*. I am an «AV”* rated attorney with 33 years of experience in solving bankruptcy problems. I am a Mensa certified genius with a strong ability to analyze and solve problems. If you are being hounded by creditors, I can legally erase your debts and get you a fresh start. If your business needs reorganization, I can give you protection from your creditors while you reorganize. If you have a claim against an individual or company that has filed for bankruptcy, I can help you collect to the maximum extent possible. My fee is always much less than I save you. My initial consultation is always free.

I represent debtors and creditors in Chapter 7, 11 and 13 bankruptcy proceedings throughout Southern California. I know the law and I know the courts, the judges and the trustees. I can guide you through any bankruptcy proceeding.
