Central California Bankrupcy Association

Bakersfield Bankruptcy Lawyer

Kern County’s Premier Bankruptcy Law Firm

At Williams & Williams, we are dedicated to providing the best possible service to you when you are having financial difficulties, as we have done for more than 40 years. Whether you need to stop a foreclosure on your home, prevent a levy on your wages, eliminate older tax debt, or just have debt you can’t pay, I will personally meet with you to discuss which alternative is best for you in your circumstances. Most commonly it will be a Chapter 7 filing, but I have filed more Chapter 13 cases than any other local attorney, for when the need arises.

I personally handle every case from the initial meeting, to the review of the questionnaire with all clients, to the required meeting with the trustee, which is now conducted by Zoom or telephone. If you are having financial difficulties, please call now to schedule a free consultation, whether in the office or by phone. We are conveniently located downtown at 25th and G Streets.
