Orange County Bankruptcy Attorney | OC Lawyers | OC Law Firm
As an Orange County bankruptcy attorney, people sometimes ask me whether filing bankruptcy in Orange County differs from filing somewhere else, such as Los Angeles, Long Beach or Riverside. The differences may be subtle, but there are some unique characteristics to an Orange County Bankruptcy (filed at the Santa Ana Federal Courthouse), that are different from filing anywhere else.
Orange County Bankruptcy Clients
Since Orange County was somewhat of an epicenter for the real estate mortgage origination business, many bankruptcy clients have a background in the real estate market. Orange County was hit particularly hard when mortgage origination came to a grinding halt in 2007. It affected not only those who were directly employed by mortgage companies and mortgage originators, but all the related businesses as well, such as escrow companies, title companies, loan servicers, even advertisers and local publishers. The Orange County economy was so tied into real estate and mortgage, it has been hard for Orange County workers to overcome the dramatic real estate crash. Unfortunately, many of these consumers have become Orange County bankruptcy clients.

The good news here is that the painful part of the recession seems to be behind us here in Orange County. As one of the geographic leaders into the recession, it is only fair that Orange County has, for the most part, internalized the losses in jobs and real income and is growing again. I don’t have any recent economic charts to back me up here, just my view from the Orange County Bankruptcy trenches. I think we saw a spike in consumer debt after mortgages basically stopped, and it took some time to work through those problems with bankruptcy or different jobs for many people, but now things seem to be stabilized and positioned for growth going forward.

I am 50 years old and have not worked in many years. I took retirement funds out three years ago. The Feds received ½ of what was owed and the Cal. State received nothing.
I have other misc. debts including one $3000 that went through the courts for a lien. The Feds put a lien on a bank account a few days after I closed the account (?) and a lien on property that I do not own. My total debt is approx. $50-60k. I continue to go to school on student loans because I cannot afford to make student loan payments.
I want a chapter 7 attorney familiar with filing BK 7 on IRS and State taxes. A possible offer and compromise with IRS given I have already paid ½ of that debt. I want IRS and other liens removed. Attorney must be in North Orange County. If this is the right attorney I can be reached at 714.615.6268.
