Over all I am pleased. The attorney is very professional while also being warm and helpful. My only constructive comment would be that at times there was a lack of organization. She was unaware of what payments I had made, I provided her with copies. I was called for copies of material previously provided. I was uncomfortable. However, the filing, handing and at hearing presentation was excellent.

Smooth Results

Raheleh was wonderful to work with. We got our filing in and even amended it. We finished out and it took about 5+ months for the Chapter 7. Thank you so much!

Professional, efficient, and friendly

I was referred to the Law Offices of Ms. Shakoori by Legal Zoom. I had no idea what to do and I was quite stressed and confused. All that ended after my first consultation and subsequent service from Ms. Shakoori. She is very re-assuring, factual, put everything in terms an average person like me could understand, and went over every detail until she was sure I completely understood the process. I am very pleased. Ms. Shakoori took ownership of my case, handled my case efficiently and made the whole process for me personally as least stressful and complicated as can be in such matters. Rachelle Shakoori is a superior attorney who dedicates herself to her clients equally, knows what she is doing, is punctual, informative, and attentive. Her staff is also superior; also knowing how to help should Ms. Shakoori be in court or otherwise unavailable at that moment. Hoping that I do not ever require such services again, if I do... I will be contacting Ms. Shakoori as my attorney and if someone asks me about such services, I will indeed recommend Ms. Shakoori. I attest that I am an actual (very happy... and relieved) client of Ms. Shakoori.

Rating of Mrs Shakoori

I was scared to death when I had my first meeting with her but she calmed me instantly. Everytime I had a question, she encouraged me to call her and even provided her personal cell phone number. In one word I can describe her and her firm as being awesome!!

I would highly recommend Attorney Raheleh Shakoori. My wife and I had to file for chapter 7 Bankruptcy, she fully explained the process to us and did not give us the run around like a few other Attorney’s we talked to did.

Excellent Attorney and a True Professional

After finally deciding to climb out of debt and start over, I was referred to Ms. Shakoori by a friend, and for that I am very thankful. Not only was she knowledgeable and personable, but extremely honest and professional. She explained every step of the process and responded to every phone call and email right away. I have dealt with several attorneys in the past, and have never experienced this level of attention and responsiveness. I can't say enough good things about Rachelle, and I highly recommend her to anyone considering bankruptcy.

Excellent

Raheleh handled my case like a true professional and I couldnt have asked or received better service. I must have emailed her day & night with questions as far as whats next, etc., and I received the guidance and instruction I needed every time. I cant say filing bk was a bad experience because everything that I needed done under my special circumstances was granted and I was able to end this chapter with a happy ending. I cant say thank you enough 🙂

Bankruptcy Process

After your initial consultation with experienced Orange County bankruptcy attorney, we will ask that you provide us with information related to credit card debt, any lawsuits, judgments, foreclosures or repossessions, tax liens or potential liens, student loans, information about your assets, i.e. homes, properties, cars, jewellery, cash, and insurance policies. After gathering and analysing this information, the Orange County and Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney at Shakoori Law Group will be able to advise you on the best course of action for you and your particular situation.

If it's determined that you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and that is the decision you have made, we will prepare a Petition for bankruptcy, which will need to be reviewed and approved by you. If everything is correct, we will then file the petition with the bankruptcy court.

Once the Petition is filed, a bankruptcy trustee will be assigned to your case. After filing of the petition, your creditors must stop harassing you! Any contact from them can be referred to your Orange County, Santa Ana and Irvine bankruptcy attorney. Filing a Bankruptcy Petition will stop credit card collections, lawsuits, home foreclosures, wage garnishments, and vehicle repossessions.

Next, the bankruptcy court will set a date for the meeting of creditors and will notify all creditors listed on the schedules. This meeting will usually take place between one month to three months after filing. Although creditors can attend these meetings, they typically don't, and the length is generally very short. Your Orange County, Santa Ana and Irvine bankruptcy attorney will be there with you the entire time.

For those filing for protection under Chapter 13 the Trustee will review the proposed plan to make sure it’s feasible. After that, a confirmation hearing is held a few weeks later, wherein the Judge assigned to your case will determine whether to approve your plan or not. Once again, your Orange County, Santa Ana and Irvine bankruptcy attorney will be present at the hearing. If approved, you or your employer will have or make payments as stated in the Plan. The Court will issue a discharge once you have made all the payments called for in the Plan.

Chapter 7 cases don’t have the Plan approval hearing and are usually discharged after approximately four to six months. You will receive a Notice of Discharge from the Court, which means that all the debts listed and qualified are forever released. After discharge, creditors are prohibited forever from collecting these discharged debts.
