Disturbing Trend Stirs San Diego Bankruptcy Attorney to Offer Radical Guarantee

    SAN DIEGO, CA, May 15, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley has seen a lot of changes in the practice of bankruptcy law in the past twenty years. None has disturbed him more than the current "race to the bottom" where lawyers advertise unrealistically low bankruptcy legal fees and lure clients in only to discover they'll likely be paying a lot more - or getting a lot less than what they thought they had bargained for. San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley urges his fellow practitioners to join him in the fight to ensure consumers get world class representation in their San Diego bankruptcy cases. He is the first to guarantee his servicesor it is free. Here's what he's done:

"It was the Honorable Judge Salzman of Riverside County who referred to the "race to the bottom" during a panel discussion at the national convention of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys [NACBA]. The description just stuck with me," says Staley. "It seems that way too many lawyers are joined in that race, and the result is bad for their clients," he says. "Judge Salzman referred to 'rampant fraud' being perpetrated by non-lawyer players, but stopped short of lumping discount lawyers along with them," he recounts.

As the economy has contracted and hard times have fallen on all, lawyers have felt the pinch, too. Many lawyers who would otherwise never dreamed of trying to handle a bankruptcy case are shouldering in, sometimes with disastrous results. "I was in attendance at a meeting of creditors earlier this week where a 'mature' lawyer but clearly inexperienced in bankruptcy was taken to task by the trustee for failing to exempt a single asset belonging to her client. The ultimate result could be that the client could lose everything, even though that shouldn't happen," says Staley.

San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley believes consumers of legal services have a right to rely on the soundness of their bankruptcy attorney's work. You might think that all clients should be able to take that for granted. They can't. A study presented at the NACBA conference in San Diego the last weekend of April, 2013 illustrated that the when and how much of fees paid to the bankruptcy attorney had a direct correlation not only to the choice of chapter of bankruptcy (i.e. Chapter 7 or 13) chosen but also to the disposition of the case, i.e. the ultimate outcome. In layman's parlance, clients seem to be "getting what they pay for", according to the study. "By the time a consumer comes to see a bankruptcy attorney, she deserves better than that", says San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley.

San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley believes that every client is entitled to the certainty that his bankruptcy case will be carried through correctly, completely and competently. Staley knew he had to come up with a solution. That's why he is the first San Diego bankruptcy attorney to guarantee his clients' results. He guarantees that if he files a client's case as a Chapter 7, that client will get a discharge. "Naturally, I count on the client being completely honest with me in preparing her case and in me therefore saying I guarantee the result", says Staley. "In my many years doing this, clients haven't let me down on that score, and I've always fulfilled my end of the bargain."

When a bankruptcy in San Diego is filed, San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley says, it should have only one fate: completion with a discharge, and a fresh start for the client filing bankruptcy in San Diego.

San Diego bankruptcy attorney Paul Staley has practiced bankruptcy in San Diego since 1994. One thing stays the same, though: when people find themselves in financial trouble, they look for a San Diego Bankruptcy expert they can trust to help them.
