Napa Bankruptcy Lawyers

After graduating from University of Northern California, Lorenzo Patino School of Law in 1998 and passing the CA State Bar exam the following year, I worked briefly doing criminal defense. Realizing this was not the type of law for me, I decided to set up my own law practice, specializing in two areas of law, bankruptcy and trusts. These two fields have been rewarding to me, as both provide a positive outcome for the client.

When a new bankruptcy law went into effect in 2005, Ike quickly immersed himself in the new law, and was selected by NACBA as one of a handful of trainers to educate over 3000 attorneys on how to practice under the new law.

"But we have learned to work with the new law, and are achieving excellent results for our clients." Ike and his wife Margaret, a retired special education teacher, live in...

To enhance my clients' understanding of their cases, I developed the 'Next Step Manual.' This guide breaks down...

Likewise, I have always taken great satisfaction in helping families in times of domestic turmoil by plain-speaking the issues associated with divorce, custody, support, and property division. I believe it is easier to handle stressful situations in a relaxed manner, but with firm resolve when...

It can be a very trying and stressful time when you find yourself in need of an attorney. Not only are you concerned about your particular legal issue, but like most people, you are concerned about the relationship you will have with your attorney and the fees that will be charged.
