The Law Firm of Karen L. Grant specializes in assisting clients in bankruptcy matters and debt workouts. I represent both debtors and creditors in cases ranging from complex Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceedings to Chapter 13 individual debt adjustment plans and Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy cases filed in Santa Barbara, California and the surrounding areas. Despite the sweeping changes made to the Bankruptcy Code under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) of 2005, bankruptcy relief is still available to most individuals. Depending on which type of bankruptcy relief is available to you, bankruptcy may stop a pending foreclosure, repossession or wage garnishment, discharge certain debts or allow you to catch up on arrearages owed to your lenders. In certain circumstances you may even be able to strip off a second mortgage on property whose value has fallen below what is owed against it. Whether you are struggling with credit card debt, medical bills, student loans or the potential loss of your assets, bankruptcy may help.
My goal is to offer quality services to my clients at a reasonable cost, listen to their needs and concerns, and provide them with the information they need to make intelligent decisions regarding their financial matters. I utilize state-of-the art technology and cost-effective methods to provide services in a timely, client-oriented manner and in an ethical, friendly and professional environment. My dedication to quality, understanding of the law, trust and respect are the foundation of my legal practice.
Karen L. Grant has been a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization since 1995. She has been in practice since 1985 and has limited her practice to bankruptcy and debt workouts since 1989.

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.
