Leon Bayer

Firm: Bayer, Wishman & Leotta
www.bayerwishmanbankruptcylaw.com , Los Angeles , California 90017
Practice Areas: Bankruptcy & Debt
My law firm of BAYER, WISHMAN & LEOTTA, tel. has handled 15,000 Los Angeles bankruptcy cases since 1989. I am a Los Angeles Bankruptcy lawyer with almost 40 years of experience. The Los Angeles Bankruptcy Attorneys in my firm are ready to help you. Please feel free to contact me if you think that I can help you.. ---. I have been practicing bankruptcy law continuously since 1979.. The practice of bankruptcy law is extremely satisfying. I know of no other area of law where so much good can be accomplished so rapidly for a client. In most cases we are able to quickly solve problems that have kept our clients sick and sleepless with worry and law is ancient. The oldest record of a bankruptcy case was left on a clay tablet from ancient Babylon, written about 3000 years ago! Abraham Lincoln, in the years before he became president, handled many bankruptcy cases as a regular part of his law practice. The right to claim bankruptcy relief is imbedded in the U.S. Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8.. I have actually helped about 10,000 to 15,000 people, (so many I have lost count) overcome a personal debt crisis. I have seen the emotional damage that debt problems cause in someone's life. I have seen how often debt problems can affect everything else in your world, sometimes ruining marriages and careers because of the stress. I am passionate about trying to help people overcome these problems.

Kristy Hernandez

Firm: Law Offices of Kristy Hernandez
7777 Greenback Lane , Citrus Heights , California 95610
Practice Areas: Bankruptcy & Debt
In 2004 Kristy founded the Law Office of Kristy Hernandez which now has offices in Sacramento and the Bay Area. Kristy began her legal career in real estate litigation. Early on, her practice focused on assisting real estate investors purchase homes at foreclosure auction, manage their real estate investments and evict non-paying tenants. Along the way, Kristy realized that she would rather use her real estate litigation background to help homeowners stay in their homes and get out debt, rather than assist investors in beefing up their bottom line. With this fundamental change in outlook, Kristy started taking on more bankruptcy and consumer rights cases, and the current law firm was created from that foundation.. Having a background in foreclosure and real estate litigation has proven incredibly timely since the decline in the real estate market where attorneys knowledgeable about the foreclosure process were in short supply but greatly needed. Kristy’s real estate background has enabled her to stay on the cutting edge of new law created to help the public get out of debt. Since 2004 Kristy has assisted hundreds of clients in debt relief cases and is a passionate advocate for consumer rights. Kristy has also helped countless families modify their home loans or wipe out second mortgages, helping hard-working people keep the dream of home ownership alive.
