Verified ClientHired Attorney 2025-2030Unfortunately I ended up with a huge amount of debt (six figures). The most debt I’ve ever had and I had numerous collection agencies after me. I finally accepted that I had to consider filing for bankruptcy. I googled bankruptcy lawyers in San Francisco and John Raymond was the first option from the search. I read the info from the search and was impressed he’s been doing this for 30 years. I entered a request for more info and received a call back from Allan Rosenthal right away. I gave him some details and scheduled an appointment. During my consultation with Allan he determined that I could file for Chapter 13 with the possibility to review for Chapter 7 in a year or two. Allan was very thorough and patient with me. As I found added info to include in my filing, Allan updated it accordingly. When my filing neared, John Raymond contacted me to answer any questions about the scheduled the Zoom meeting for the Chapter 13 filing. John and Allan made sure everything was in order and my Chapter 13 filing went thru without a hitch and approved. My monthly payments for the next five years was greatly reduced and manageable for my budget. I cannot express my gratitude for John and Allan’s work and helping thru this difficult time of my life. They are both extremely professional and experts in their field. They understand it’s a difficult decision to make to file for bankruptcy. There no judgment about my mess of my finances - just a desire to help me not only in filing the bankruptcy but to continue to work on my case during the five year process. It’s been about two months since my bankruptcy was approved. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I’m no longer depressed and have a new lease on my life. I highly recommend John Raymond’s services.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
