A bankruptcy lawyer in San Diego can help you navigate federal bankruptcy laws and California exemptions. San Diego residents may use California state exemptions like the homestead exemption under CCP 704.730 to protect home equity. A local attorney can advise on whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is right for your financial situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors and typically takes 3-6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3-5 year repayment plan based on your disposable income. California law requires you to pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. The automatic stay stops most collection actions immediately upon filing.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in San Diego?
You may keep your house if your equity is covered by the California homestead exemption. As of 2024, the exemption is up to $300,000 for most homeowners and up to $600,000 for seniors or disabled individuals. A lawyer can help you calculate your equity and exemptions.
