Bankruptcy in California — Chapter 7 & Chapter 13

Bankruptcy is a legal tool for getting a fresh start when debt has become impossible to manage. California offers two main options for individuals and families. As your bankruptcy lawyer, we explain both in plain English (or Spanish — your choice) and recommend the right chapter based on your income, assets, and goals.

Chapter 7 — Debt Elimination in 3-6 Months

Chapter 7 wipes out most unsecured debt — credit cards, medical bills, personal loans — in a span of 3 to 6 months. California's homestead and vehicle exemptions protect your home and car in most cases. To qualify, you must pass the means test (income vs. California's median).

Chapter 13 — Repayment Plan Over 3-5 Years

Chapter 13 lets you catch up on missed mortgage or car payments through a court-supervised repayment plan. It's the right choice when you have steady income but you're behind, or when your assets exceed Chapter 7 exemptions. Chapter 13 can also reduce a car loan to fair market value (cramdown) under specific conditions.

The Automatic Stay Stops Creditors Immediately

The moment you file your bankruptcy petition, federal law triggers the automatic stay. Creditors must stop wage garnishment, bank levies, foreclosure proceedings, lawsuits, and collection calls — same day. It's the most powerful tool bankruptcy law gives Inland Empire families to take back control.

Will I Lose My House or Car?

In most cases, no. California's exemptions are generous — the homestead exemption protects substantial home equity, and the vehicle exemption protects your car up to a meaningful limit. Our bankruptcy lawyer reviews each asset to maximize what's protected under California law.

Bankruptcy Services Across the Inland Empire

Beyond Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, our bankruptcy lawyer handles the urgent debt-relief situations that bring Inland Empire and Coachella Valley families to our office. From foreclosure defense to wage garnishment, here are the bankruptcy services we offer.

Two Practice Areas. Two Specialties. One Firm.

Lombera Law is a true personal injury and bankruptcy attorney firm — not a general practice that dabbles in both. Edgar Lombera has spent 15+ years building deep expertise in each area separately. Hire us for a personal injury case and you get an injury attorney focused on maximum compensation, working the medical records, liability evidence, and insurance negotiations that win serious settlements. Hire us for a bankruptcy case and you get a bankruptcy attorney focused on the right chapter, the strongest California exemptions, and a clean fresh start.

The benefit of one firm: if you ever need both — a serious accident leaves you unable to work and the medical bills become unmanageable — you don't have to start over with a new attorney, retell your story, or coordinate two firms that don't talk to each other. One bilingual team, two areas of deep specialty, one consistent strategy across whatever your situation actually requires.
