Ryan Jones, Esq.
Principal attorney
A lawyer who still takes the call
Protecting Southern California families from financial collapse.
Bankruptcy is not a failure. It is a federal legal right written for people who have already tried everything else. Ryan Jones built this firm around that truth, and around the belief, that you should never have to explain your story to different staff every week.
Every petition is prepared by counsel, filed in the Bankruptcy District of California, and argued with the same care we would want for our own families. If Chapter 7 or 13 is not right, you will hear that in the first meeting.
- Client focused consumer bankruptcy practice
- Same day emergency filings when a sale is pending
- Plain English fee agreements, always in writing
The path forward
Four steps from chaos to a discharge.
01
Confidential consultation
We review income, assets, and every debt without judgment, and map whether Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or another path fits.
02
Strategy & documents
You receive a clear filing plan, a document checklist, and direct access to counsel—not a call center.
03
File & automatic stay
The petition is filed. Creditor calls, lawsuits, garnishments, and most foreclosure efforts must stop.
04
Discharge & rebuild
We walk you through the meeting of creditors, protect exemptions, and help you leave with a plan to rebuild credit.
Questions
What clients ask first.
Most clients keep both. California exemptions, reaffirmation, and Chapter 13 plans are designed to protect a homestead and a necessary vehicle when the numbers work. We model this before any petition is filed.
The automatic stay generally takes effect the moment the case is filed. Creditors who keep calling after notice can face court sanctions. We notify major collectors immediately.
No. Some clients are better served by targeted negotiation, timing a filing, or not filing at all. The consultation is a strategy session—not a sales pitch to file.
An uncomplicated Chapter 7 in the Central District of California is often completed in about four to six months from filing to discharge.
