SoCal’s Top Bankruptcy and Personal Injury Law Firm

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers a quicker discharge of unsecured debts such as credit cards and medical bills but may require you to sell your assets. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets you keep your property through a court-ordered repayment plan over 3-5 years. At OakTree Law, we can take a look at your situation and determine which bankruptcy type is right for you.

The decision to file for bankruptcy is a personal one, but there are some signs you should consider filing for one:

• You’re struggling to make minimum payments on your outstanding debts
• You’re using credit cards to cover necessities such as rent, food, and gas
• You’re skipping payments on essential bills such as rent or a car note

At OakTree Law, we can assess your situation and advise you on the best course of action.

For personal injury cases, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t pay upfront fees or hourly rates. If we win, we collect a percentage of your court award or settlement amount. You can schedule a free evaluation with us to review your situation, discuss fee structure, and discuss the next steps.

Some common indicators of a personal injury case include:

• Injuries due to someone else’s carelessness, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing
• Quantifiable damages due to an injury (e.g. medical bills, property damage, lost wages, etc.)
• A person or entity whose actions can be linked to your injury, such as an at-fault driver or a landlord who neglected to fix a hazard

The validity of the case will depend on the facts of your specific situation, which is why you’ve come to the right place. At OakTree Law, we will evaluate the details of your situation and advise you on the legal merits of pursuing a claim.
