Posted by Vicky | April 06, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy Chapter 7

David Carrera represented me on my Chapter 7. I was very confused about making this decision. I went to discuss, and get a consultation. He explained all options and advised which one was best for my situation. Mr. Carrera was very professional. very easy to understand. The process was easy and quick..., and even after the process Mr. Carrera was helpful and answer all the questions I had even after the case was close. I have referred Mr. Carrera to other clients and I will keep referring him to anyone. I trust him and if I had another legal matter I will come back to him.

Posted by Rod | January 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

Guided me through Short Sale and saved me from Foreclosure

From my first conversation with David, I was thrilled with his speed and accuracy. David not only led me through the judicial system, he negotiated with the mortgage company at the same time. David was able to not only stop the foreclosure and eventually get it thrown out of court, but also set... me up for the short sale process, help get a tenant removed that was no longer paying rent, get the HOA to help clear up some items as well. He was very reasonable with his pricing and payment methods. I would use David again for anything related to the law. Thank you for your help!

Great experience

Outstanding individual not only as an attorney but a quality person. David handled two issues for me both to my satisfaction. Will be my attorney for all my future legal situations.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
