Our Legal Services
- Chapter 7: Discharges some or part of credit card, tax, and other unsecured debts and may liquidate non-exempt assets to pay lenders in part. Can be used by individuals or businesses.
- Chapter 11: If you are a person or business with a high net worth, you can reorganize your finances and retain control of a business without closing it down.
- Chapter 13: Our bankruptcy attorney can help if you earn a steady income but need to address your debt. This plan secures property and creates a plan to reorganize and pay off amounts you owe.
- Chapter 20: Allows you to discharge debt via a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing and pay off the remainder as part of a Chapter 13 plan.
By filing for bankruptcy, an automatic stay stops calls from debt collectors, threats of foreclosure, wage garnishments, and other activities.
Homeowners often believe foreclosure is the final step in the bank taking their home. However, this does not have to be the case, as there are many options available to avoid a foreclosure sale. Our attorneys can help guide you through some complex alternatives.
Loan Modification
If you are experiencing financial hardship and have a reasonably good payment history, your bank may agree to alter the terms of your mortgage or loan. It may be temporary or permanent, but you could get help if you have an adjustable-rate or high interest rate mortgage or owe more than the value of your property.
OakTree Law can help in a variety of business litigation matters. Our business and civil litigation lawyer can assist you in a breach of contract, corporate dispute, partnership dispute, intellectual property, wrongful termination, or franchise bankruptcy case.
Wills, living trusts, durable power of attorney, and advance health care directives allow you to grant control over your estate and decide how your assets will be distributed should you become incapacitated or pass away. This can make distribution of assets easier for family and friends later.
Short Sale Negotiation
A short sale negotiation is an option if your San Fernando Valley property meets the qualifications and your current loan payments are a financial burden. To qualify, your home must be less than the amount of the unpaid principle on your loan (based on comparable sales in your area), and your lender must approve of the sale.
Mortgage Litigation
Homeowners in financial distress often explore multiple options yet are denied any request for relief. If your lender has acted unfairly, you can take legal action against them; OakTree Law can help determine if litigation is the best option in your situation.
Our in-house notary service makes adoption papers, affidavits, deeds, divorce/settlement, pre-nuptial agreements, escrow/title documents, trusts, and vehicle title transfers legally binding in the state of California.
A serious accident can happen at any time; in an instant, you may face a long physical and emotional recovery plus ongoing medical care, loss of income, and other financial strains. Our personal injury attorney is experienced at getting clients compensated for car accident, slip and fall, medical malpractice, dog bite, defective product, and other cases.
If you’re a home or business owner, you may face legal challenges with contract negotiations, eminent domain, a landlord-tenant dispute, eviction, property sales, real estate closings, leasing, or title review. Our real estate attorneys can help in any matter of real estate law.
